Hi! I love reading your posts so much so I would like to know your thoughts on this:

https://x.com/smol_kia/status/1550222383075586048?t=1QUT02cleCrXVULBEegSjw&s=19

I saw some of us on X thanking this person for manifesting the toothbrushing scene which was funny but at the same time i am super confused on how jikook really did exactly the same as the fan art (the plaid pyjamas especially)! Do you think this was purely coincidence or one of them saw it and went 'let's make this to reality'?

English is not my first language, so I'm sorry if my ask is all over the place :) love ya!

Let's start with the end here why don't we?

JM and JK are the real thing. They have a real actual relationship unlike the dreamt up needing to lean on made up fanart relationship that Tkks delude themselves JK and Tae have.

That is the starting point.

Jikook are the real deal. A real life long term loving couple. TKK are not. Not a couple. Friends yes. At times closer at times not so much, but always and only friends.

So, let's talk about that fanart. It's from 2022. 22 July 22 to be accurate. I am literally feeling sick to my stomach at the moment, but I will share the photo, cause I'm going to be making a point here.

*At least they kept the JM in place (although they probably are deluded as to it's meaning...).

So, why is the date so important, you may ask.

Because that is the day ITS Friendcation came out.

And guess what we got in that first episode of the show.

Only the four friendliest of friends in their matchy plaid pj's.

Basically what we had was TKK's in their hazed daydreams wishing that instead of Tae sleeping together with his squad, to which a one Jeon Jungkook does not belong no matter how much they want to twist it (same crew that left JK at the ski resort by himself while leaving together), instead of Tae waking up with Wooga and their match plaid pj's and brushing teeth together, it would be JK there with him.

Like I say, dream on.

That fanart of theirs, is a dream not a reality, and they can scream until they are blue in the face, it won't change the fact that the one brushing his teeth with JK at the moment is JM, not Tae, by choice. JK choice. JM's choice. They both wanted it. They both planned it. They both worked towards it. And they are both living it right now.

I find it kind of funny how TKKs keep on screaming that JM and JK's travels are for the camera, not genuine, all for the buck. If that was true, if Jikook were indeed the 'fanservice' couple for BH, if Jikook were a money maker as a unit for the company, how is it that this cash machine has never been properly utilized. It always amuses me to hear this from them all while most of Jikook's interactions are off camera, not for us to intentionally see. This one unit that has never come to fruition officially (until now, and there is a reason for that and a reason why we are getting more now, none of which are them being 'faked' for the camera in order to make money).

I love how they twist everything to fit a constant changing narrative. I actually don't know how they keep up with themselves. It would be so exhausting.

I saw Mina's tweets. Will not share them here. I will not give that hateful ***** a platform here. All I will say is that it must be so very hard for her right now. Reality is hitting and it's hitting hard. I guess it's a last hurrah, an attempt to cling to their fantasy. Basically acting like a belligerent child having a tantrum.

If I didn't loath her and her kind I would actually pity them. They are going to be so very miserable in the upcoming months. Not to mention after they are all back from the military.

I guess these weirdos need to be reminded that JM and JK's Tokyo trip back in 2017 was not for the cameras. A trip eternalized with JK's GCFT, a trip they could not stop talking about, a trip they continued to talk about in their book under the title Real love.

I won't remind them of just how fondly JK was talking about their trip and the show, nor will I bring up that shining sun of a smile he had when JM says he'll hug him later, cause you know, these are basically fans that have no interest in what the idol they supposedly love (yeah, no love there) says or feels. It's about what they, as fans, want to feel dreaming about buff JK the fuckboy, bad boy, man handler and his dainty weak boyfriend Tae (with their love hate toxic jealousy drama filled relationship).

Excuse me for a sec...

I also guess they need to be reminded that not all of JM and JK's time together was filmed, not all of it was for the cameras, as they love to put it. Not in NY, and definitley not in Tokyo 2023. Funny how two people that were working on enlisting together and got to fulfill their wishes and make sure that the 18 months of their military service they are inseparable, even if that means a tougher placement than if they enlisted separately, still wanted to go on these trips together. I think that by now any claim that this was forced on them - the trips, the show, the enlistment - have been long disproved.

And for a couple that the company are 'trying to push on us' it's really funny how silent they have been since their enlistment. But yeah, these people will continue to say what they want because otherwise their dreams are dead. Kind of like Larry's that still think those two are a thing.

You know what else that fanart comes after, btw?

Not only the ITS friendcation, but also after this:

JK directing LGO MV choosing the couples pj's, choosing to have JM walk out of the bathroom brushing his teeth JK waiting for him in the bedroom.

Fanart is art (not that some of the fanart out there would be considered art by myself, but you know, that's a personal taste, or distaste, and that btw includes some Jikook fanart as well). It can replicate or express reality but it can also be an outright fantasy.

In this case it's TKKs seeing the reality (Wooga and Jikook) and expressing fantasy (their ideas or wishes applied onto TKK), lol.

And now we have JM and JK on their trip wearing these couples pj's.

What a blow that must have been for TKKs. And this whole scrambling thing they are doing, that this is "the company" copying their fanart. Absolutely hilarious.

Jikook have shown us over the years that they love plaid. Not gonna add pics here cause there is no end to them. JK, JM alone, together, plaid is something they have been doing. Specifically? Not necessarily. But it's something they wear.

Jikook themselves have worn plaid pj's in the past for LGO MV (and the live as well - do I remind you guys of JK's joke about why he decided to have JM brushing his teeth?). Director JK. Their choice.

The fanart TKKs are squealing about was not an original piece of art that a TKKer came up with. They literally copied the pajamas worn by the Woogas in ITS Friendcation inserting JK into their fantasy.

If people would watch original content they would know that Jikook, both of them, tend not to wear pj's at home. Not around the house and not in bed. We saw JM in ITS 2. We saw JK in his bed live (in which I would love to remind TKKs how flirty and naughty he was with JM all while being half naked in bed, nagging JM to do a live with him, all his choice, all knowing that the company will not be happy with him, lol - still waiting for that Jikook live, you know from the company's "for the cameras" couple). Oh, and we also have the LV live. Yeah, that was an interesting one. Seeing that not only did we hear from JM and Hobi that JM walks around in his undies at home but that JK is in charge of the soundtrack... I guess while he's in his undies as well...(JM's reaction to Hobi's slip up was priceless). Point being that those two don't do clothes for sleep. But clearly they couldn't go 'au natural' for the show, so they chose to wear pj's.

And just like the other clothes that they chose to wear throughout their travels, that we will get to see in the show, they chose to wear these pj's.

Couple pj's.

This is not a photo shoot. This is them coming from home with their own clothes wearing what they want to wear, what they feel comfortable in. And they chose to wear those pj's knowing EXACTLY how it will be perceived.

And just like Wooga chose to wear the plaid pj's, which btw were all identical, like the rings they wear, probably as a symbol of their friendship, all while NO ONE ever dared to claim that they were dressed by stylists or forced into wearing them or that the creators of the show even suggested the idea to them, JM and JK chose to wear these pj's that are not identical but seem to be perceived as couple's pj's.

Pajamas sold out of course, the company's caption at the bottom being: "How about watching the show together in couple pajamas?"

Their choice.

Their decision.

Filming themselves brushing their teeth - their decision.

I want to make something clear here. They have said it and I will repeat it. This is not a scripted show. This is them travelling, experiencing, enjoying themselves (you cannot fake those smiles and giggles), filming themselves. That angle, the camera in the bathroom, that is a camera they placed there, they wanted us to see this just like JK wanted to show us JM brushing his teeth and coming out to him in the bedroom.

Do I remind you what happened when a camera was placed in a room when they didn't want us to see what they were up to?

This is not 2018 anymore. This is 2024 (well, filmed end of 2023, and may I just note that after the new contracts were signed, and I do think this is highly relevant as to what we are going to be getting in this show, what we will be allowed to see, the level of candor). No more hidden cameras in rooms (I think the company had realized that was a dangerous game they were playing at), and their artists control over what will be filmed and what not.

Their choices, their decisions, not some company executive. Them. The two of them.

I will end this by saying that I doubt that Jikook are even aware of this TKK fanart.

But if they were, then this wouldn't be them copying the fanart trying to create the illusion they are a couple.

No need for an illusion when you ARE the real deal.

If, by any chance, they were aware of the fanart then I would say that any connection to it would be them saying a big FUCK YOU to TKKs and their delusions.

But yeah, I do doubt they were even aware of this pic.

JK's search logarithm is Jimin based. Not TKK. So keep dreaming TKKs, cause not only are TKK not the thing you so very much want them to be, the thought of that thing, them as a couple, you as a fan group, your art and fantasies, all those aren't even a blip on JM and JK's radars.

Note

had a small idea. kinda just a one-line prompt but hey. names could always be changed hence the brackets lol

"hey, hey, (roman)." (remus) says quietly, "it's okay. you're safe. well, as safe as you can be with him around."

omg i LOVEE this! let me see what kinds of scenario i can come up with for ya!

pierrot

(cw -> whumper!patton, implied physical abuse, mention of kinks)

"Hey, hey, Roman," Remus says quietly, "It's okay. You're safe. well, as safe as you can be with him around."

Roman smiles and nods rapidly, doing anything he can to make it clear to Remus how okay he is. He has to be okay, he has to be carefree and unafraid. Patton is standing right there. If he finds out that Roman told anybody about the things that happen when the cameras stop rolling, the chatty prince might just need to be silenced.

But of course, Remus doesn't know that. Remus doesn't know anything about the bursts of purple and yellow peppered across his skin underneath his bright white prince costume. Remus doesn't know that Roman's mouth tastes metallic because of how hard he has to bite his tongue so nobody can hear him screaming. Patton is Morality. The good guy. Nobody can know that he has to tan the hide of the pathetic little prince who can't follow simple rules.

All Roman dared to tell Remus about was the horrible things Patton said to him during punishments. And even that was already proving to be too much for the outspoken side to sit on.

As the video starts being recorded and Thomas appears, Remus reaches for Roman's hand so his brother has something steady to keep himself grounded. When Roman doesn't take it, Remus puts a hand on Roman's shoulder instead, causing Roman to tense up and stare at the floor, his entire body tight and still.

It isn't that Remus' touch isn't comforting. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Remus' warm hand, calloused and dry, feels familiar, and Roman almost feels protected. Loved. But really, he can't let himself go and fall into the feeling because every time he dares to look up, he gets trapped in Patton's icy blue eyes as they stare right at him, unblinking, as the father figure grins widely.

"Oh, you're a naughty one, aren't you?" Patton mumbles, so quietly that not even Roman can hear it. "That's okay. It's my job to help people atone for their wrongdoings. That's what Morality's for. I'll ensure your loose lips don't cause anyone anymore trouble, my darling prince. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to lead you down the right path..."

---

When the episode is over, nobody feels great about it. The problem doesn't really get solved. No questions really get answered. Patton is seething behind his smile.

"Roman, sweetheart, can you help me out in my room?" he asks in a sing-song voice.

Roman's breathing grows ragged. Remus stands in front of him.

"What, so you can berate him again?" he challenges, "Call him a brat, a worthless little Pierrot? He told me everything, Patton. If degradation's your kink, I won't shame you for it, but don't use my brother to beat off to it. You know how sensitive he is."

"Roman is no prince," Patton whispers, a manic smile growing on his face as his eyes glint with the knowledge of a secret. "He is a Pierrot. He's a sad little clown, with nothing better to do than to spread lies about me. It really is crazy what jealousy can do to a person."

"I'm not jealous of you!" Roman protests quickly, rushing to Patton and getting in his face, begging for some of his attention. "I swear, I'm not. I'm happy that you're the favorite side now, I'm happy that you're getting the praise you deserve! I didn't really tell Remus everything, he just thinks I did. Everything's safe with me, everything! I promise! I am a prince, I am honorable and noble. I promise."

His voice grows more shaky and desperate with each sentence until words that should have been grand declarations turn into desperate pleas.

"Come on, Pierrot," Patton says sweetly, gently holding Roman's long, slender hand and guiding him away from Remus. "Let's go to my room. Talk things out...maybe over some cookies."

Remus' skin becomes hot with anger, and he reaches out for his brother, but the two sink down before Remus even has the chance to extend his arm all the way. They're gone. And now, nobody is going to get in the way of Roman's punishment.

Chapter 3: An Island Without Doctors? Adventure in a Nameless Land!

(episode 80)

"Attention, pirates! Leave this place at once! This instant!"

"We came to find a doctor!"

"We have a sick person onboard!"

"We won't fall for that trick, you filthy pirates!"

"They really hate our guts. And we've just met too."

"Don't talk back!"

"They're shooting!"

"You didn't just do that! Bastard!"

"Stop, Sanji-san!"

"Vivi!" Luffy screamed, before turning to the culprit with fury. "Why, you-!"

That only made the men redraw their guns. "Aim!"

Luffy went to charge in, but to everyone's surprise, Vivi held him back. "No! Stop! Fighting won't help anything! I'm fine! It only grazed my arm!" She knelt down next to him. "In any case, we won't land here!" She bowed her head in pleading. "But could we ask for a doctor? Our friend is suffering from a grave illness. Please help! I beg you!"

Luffy watched her in awe. "Vivi!"

"You're not fit to be captain, Luffy," She almost whispered, "Not everything can be fixed by acting recklessly! If you start a fight here, what will happen to Nami-san?"

Venus frowned with sympathy. "She has a point."

"Yeah," Luffy agreed after a beat of silence, and turned to the residents, "I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please call a doctor!" He bowed down next to Vivi. "Please help our friend!" His hat rolled off his head, landing in front of them both.

The men watched for signs of attacks, but none came. Only silent pleading. "I will show you to the village," The leader decided, "Follow me." Vivi straightened up with a sigh of relief, then turned to Luffy. "See? They understood!"

"Yeah!" He whispered. "You're amazing!"

Most of the crew trudged through the snow after the residents, trekking up a hill. "I must warn you; the only doctor we have here is a witch."

Venus perked up at that. "A-a witch? For real?"

"Witch?" Usopp frowned.

"You gotta be kidding me," Sanji grumbled, carrying a coat-clad Nami on his back, "Nothing here makes sense. What is this place, anyway?"

"This land still does not have a name."

"There's a witch here?!" Venus interjected.

"A nameless land?" Vivi asked. "Does that really happen?"

Both of their questions were left unanswered, when Usopp screamed in terror. "A bear!" A hulking white bear was walking close by. "Everyone! Pretend to be dead!" He flopped down in the snow, as Venus looked down at him silently.

The man noticed a pickaxe held in one of its paws. "A Hiking Bear. They pose no danger. Don't forget to bow; it's proper hiking manners." They did so when passing each other; that is, except a still fearful Usopp, who stayed down.

"Okay!" Zoro finished patching up the self-inflicted wounds on his legs from his escape attempt in Little Garden. "All better! See!" He clapped his feet in front of a shivering Karoo, who was bundled in a warm blanket. "Now I can finally do some real training! I was getting sick of that watered-down training."

Thanks a lot, Venus. 'Quit pushing yourself!' Her words rang through his mind. 'You almost cut your own feet off! You gotta take it easy!' For a meek girl, she could be quite demanding when she wanted to. 'Fine, as long as you stop bugging me about it, short stack.' He had caved.

"And just watching the ship is boring as hell." He stripped out of his shirt and jacket, and held his palms together. "Maybe I'll go for some cold-weather swimming to suppress myself." He puffed out some air.

Before long, after Venus pulled the sniper to his feet, and back to the group, they arrived at a small village. "This is our village, Big Horn."

"There are weird animals walking everywhere," Luffy remarked, as he, Usopp, and Venus looked around the area.

"That's snow country for ya!" Usopp agreed.

"Nami-san! We made it to a village with people!" Sanji told her. "It's a village!"

"Okay. Thanks for the help, everyone." Vivi turned to see the leader talking to the other guards that escorted them. "Those who aren't guards can return to their work."

"But will you be alright by yourself, Dalton-san? They're pirates!"

"I believe they pose no threat. That's my hunch of many years of experience; you can trust it."

"What do we do? If that's what Dalton-san says, then..."

"And they don't seem dangerous."

"Yeah."

"Alright, Dalton-san! We leave the rest to you!" Vivi watched in awe, as the men, sans Dalton, promptly dispersed.

"Be ever careful, Dalton-san."

"Just call us if anything happens!"

Dalton turned to see the princess looking up at him. "They weren't this land's security forces?"

"They're ordinary citizens. Come to my home for now."

"Hey! Look, Luffy! A Hiking Bear!" Usopp pointed out.

"Again?!" They quickly bowed, only for it to be a tall human.

"Oh, Dalton-san! I heard there were pirates!"

"Yes, everything is okay. There's nothing to worry about."

"Oh, Dalton-kun!" An elderly man called to him. "I look forward to the election in two days! Everyone says they're going to vote for you!"

"Y-you can't be serious!" Dalton waved his hands in modest protest. "I'm nothing but a sinful man!" Vivi watched on in curiosity.

Later, they were at Dalton's home in the village. Over the fireplace was a pair of swords crossed together, and a white tiger skin. "Use that bed there," He offered, "I'll warm the place up." Sanji laid Nami on the bed, and Vivi covered her with a warm, green blanket. "I haven't told you my name yet."

"Dalton?" The young witch piped up.

"Venus," Vivi scolded.

"It's okay, she's right. I'm Dalton, captain of the security squad of this island." Sanji glanced around the room curiously; there was a strip of brickwork above the walls. "Please forgive our heavy-handed welcome." Dalton set his bag down. "May I ask you a question?"

"Eh?" Vivi looked up from the bed when he turned to her.

"I somehow feel like I've seen you before," He remarked.

Vivi quickly turned away. "I-it's probably just your imagination! Anyway, please tell us about this witch!"

"Yes, please do!" Venus perked up.

"Nami-san's temperature was 42 C when I checked it just now!" Vivi continued.

Dalton's eyes widened. "42?!"

"Yes, sir," Venus nodded.

"Her fever's gone up for three days in a row."

"She'll die if it goes up anymore!"

"Yes," Vivi agreed worriedly, "But if we don't even know the cause of this illness, or how to treat it."

"We need a doctor!" Sanji urged. "Anyone will do! Where is this witch of yours?!"

"The witch, huh. Do you see those mountains outside the window?"

"Yeah, those insanely tall-" Sanji turned to look, but only saw a snowman with barrels and wooden beams.

"Hyper Snowman!" Luffy announced.

"Snowzilla, the snow beast!" Usopp followed.

"Yeah!" They shared a high-five from their spots high up on their creations.

"Don't make me kick your asses!" Sanji glared.

Venus peered outside, and smiled brightly. "Wow, those are awesome!" Her heart dropped when the cook started barreling outside with anger. "Sanji, no!"

"Those mountains are known as the Drum Rockies," Dalton informed, pointing to the tall, tower-like mountains peeking behind the totaled sculptures. "Do you see the castle at the top of the tallest one in the middle?"

"Castle?!" Usopp asked through some hot chocolate.

"That castle no longer has its king."

"That warms me up," Luffy sighed happily.

"Yeah, there it is," Sanji observed, looking out the window.

"What's so important about the castle?" Vivi asked. It was on the middle tower, and was almost microscopic.

"The only doctor in the land, Dr. Kureha, lives there," Dalton replied, "People call her a witch."

"What?!" Sanji exclaimed. "Of all the places, why does it have to be so far away?!"

"Can we call her here?" Venus suggested. "Nami needs treatment now!"

"Even if we wanted to, there's no way to contact her," Dalton answered.

"Huh?!" Sanji glared. "And she calls herself a doctor?! What the hell is she like?!"

"As a doctor, she's very skilled. But she's an eccentric old hag; she's nearly 140 years old right now."

"Eh?!" Vivi looked up.

"140?!" Sanji exclaimed. "I think she might need help!"

"Well guys, witches are very mysterious," Venus lectured, "I'd read about them when I was little."

Dalton stared silently at her for a moment, before continuing. "Anyway, let's see... she likes pickled plums."

"What happens when people get sick, or injured?" Vivi asked.

"She comes down from the mountain when she feels like it. She looks for patients, treats them, then as payment, she takes whatever she wants from their houses before leaving."

"Sounds like an unfriendly old hag!" Usopp glared.

"Sounds like Nami, minus the doctor part," Venus commented.

"Hey! She almost sounds like a pirate!" Luffy remarked.

"But how does such an old woman go down that mountain?" Vivi asked.

"It's an odd rumor... but several people claim to have seen her riding a sleigh through the sky on moonlit nights. And that's the reason she's called a witch."

"Wow," Venus breathed in awe, "A witch on a sleigh! I thought it'd be a broomstick!"

"Some also saw her with a strange creature they'd never seen before."

"That must be her familiar!" She perked up.

Usopp tensed at that, and fell face-up on the floor, his legs flailing. "I knew it! See? It's a Snow Man! It's a snowy mountain, after all!" He sat up, and fell forward. "I knew there'd be one!" He rolled around on the floor fearfully. "A witch, and a Snow Man?! Oh, please never let us run into them!"

"She is the only doctor, but she's a hag I'd prefer to stay away from. All we can do is wait for the next time she comes down the mountain."

"You can't be serious," Vivi said.

"Dammit!" Sanji exclaimed. "We can't wait for that! Even as we speak, Nami-san is-!"

"Hey! Nami, Nami!" Luffy patted her hot cheek. "Can you hear me?"

"What are you doing?!" Vivi, Sanji, Usopp, and Venus raged simultaneously.

To his delight, her eyes squinted open. "Oh! She's awake!" He then turned back to her. "Hey, the only way to see a doctor is to climb a mountain. We're gonna climb it!"

"Eh?"

"Don't be crazy!" Sanji scolded. "What are you doing with Nami-san?!"

"It's okay! I'll carry her on my back!"

"That'll only make things worse!" Vivi glared.

"What's the problem? We need to hurry, don't we?"

"That's true, but you can't! Look how steep and tall it is!"

"I can make it."

"Maybe you can make it, but it'd be too hard on Nami-san!" Sanji pointed out.

"But look! If we fall, we'll land in snow!"

"Even a healthy person would die instantly after a fall from there!"

"Seriously!" Usopp added. "She's 6 C over normal temperature! Do you even get it?!"

"What other choice do we have?" Venus chimed in.

"V-Venus!" He stammered.

Everyone turned to Nami when they heard her struggle to talk. "I need to get over this fast," She panted heavily, "I need to hurry... for Vivi." She moved her hand, so it was weakly held up. "I'm counting on you, Captain!"

Everyone gawked in awe, before Luffy beamed, and shared a careful high-five with her. "That's more like it! Just leave it to me!"

"I can't believe it!" Usopp exclaimed. "Like captain, like navigator!"

"Do you know what condition you're in, Nami-san?!" Sanji fussed over her.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Vivi asked. "It'll take hours to get there!"

"Old guy! Meat!" Luffy eagerly demanded. "Gimme meat!"

"Meat?"

Sanji glared in determination. "Alright! I'm comin' too!"

"Count me in!" Venus chimed in.

"What?!" Usopp cried. "W-why?!"

"I'm going to meet the witch! I bet I'll learn a lot from her!"

"B-but it'll be dangerous!"

"More dangerous than Marines, dinosaurs, and agents?" She quirked an eyebrow. "I'll be alright, promise!"

Usopp sighed in defeat. "Alright. Now listen, Luffy!" He then turned to the captain, who had Nami on his back. "Don't fall even once, or you can expect Nami to die!"

"Eh?! Even once?!"

"And keep Venus-chan safe for me! I-I mean, for us! Both of you! Got that?!" He glanced between him, and Sanji.

"Wait! Hold still!" Vivi was in the process of tying Nami to Luffy for safety. "I need to tie this right!" Once she was done, she straightened up. "All set. Okay, I'm going to wait here. I'd only get in the way."

"Same here!" Usopp agreed.

"Got it!" Luffy looked back at the navigator, who was back in her yellow/orange plaid coat. "Okay, Nami! Hold on tight!"

"Yeah..."

Dalton watched them for a quiet moment. "If you're really set on going, I won't stop you. But at least climb up from the other side. There are Lapins on this course; fierce, carnivorous rabbits. If you encounter a pack of them, you're as good as dead."

"Rabbits? But we're in a hurry. We should be fine, right?" Luffy turned to Sanji.

"Yeah! I'll kick 'em!"

"Kick?! You can't be serious! You'd be walking to your deaths!"

"It's okay!" Luffy assured, and began sprinting. "Alright, then! Let's go, Sanji, Venus! Before Nami dies!"

"What?!" He ran after him, with Venus close behind. "Don't say things that could jinx us, you dumbass!"

"Venus! B-be careful!" Usopp called out.

"I will!" She promised with a wave of her hand.

Dalton watched them with Vivi and Usopp. "Will they really be all right?"

"Well, I'm not worried about those two," Usopp replied about the captain, and the chef.

"But the question is if Nami-san's strength will last long enough," Vivi added, "I hope they make it there safely."

With that, Dalton started heading back inside, but saw they weren't moving. "What's wrong?" Vivi turned to him. "Come inside. It's cold out."

"Oh, that's okay," She smiled nervously, "I want to stay outside."

"Me too," Usopp shivered.

Dalton let a smile grow at their apparent loyalty, and closed the door, staying out as well. "I see." They turned to him, as he sat cross-legged. "Then I will join you." Usopp and Vivi smiled gratefully in his direction, before they all watched the mountains. For a few seconds, it was eerily silent, before he spoke up. "We did have some, long ago," He recalled.

"Eh?" They turned to him in surprise.

"Doctors," He clarified, "But they're all gone now, for certain reasons. They were all incredibly skilled. We were even known as an advanced medical nation."

"So, what happened?" Vivi asked.

"This country was destroyed just a few months ago. At the hands of pirates!"

"Eh?!" Usopp and Vivi's eyes widened in shock.

"The entire country?!" Usopp exclaimed.

"So that's why you were so nervous about us?" Vivi asked.

"Yes. The word "pirate" is still too much for everyone to handle. I'm sorry about that. But there were only five people in that pirate group. The captain called himself "Blackbeard", and he destroyed our country in the blink of an eye with his devastating power."

"Only five people?!" Vivi gawked. "You can't be serious!"

"Blackbeard?!" Usopp glared.

"But there are some who say it was actually good for the country."

"There's nothing good about a country being destroyed!" Vivi pointed out.

"Yeah!" Usopp agreed. "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"

Dalton smiled at them again. "Thank you. But people say that because the monarchy that existed here until then was appalling in the eyes of the citizens. The country's former name was the Drum Kingdom! The king's name was Wapol!" Dalton glared at the ground at the name alone. "He was the worst king possible!"

Vivi and Usopp gasped in shock; the same man they encountered at sea earlier! "Yes! That man! I remember him!" The former recalled.

"Wapol?!" Usopp exclaimed.

Up in the mountain, Luffy, Sanji, and Venus were hiking through the snow, with Nami securely on the captain's back. "It's gotten a little colder," Luffy remarked, "The wind's picking up."

"So why aren't you wearing shoes?!" Sanji pointed out his sandals. "Just seeing that is painful!"

"This is my police!"

"Police?! You mean "policy"!"

"Yeah! Anyway, did you know? People in snowy countries never sleep!"

"Huh? Why's that?"

"'Cause they'll die if they go to sleep!"

"Don't be stupid! There's nobody like that!"

"It's the truth! Someone told me a long time ago!" Through their sprint, a certain kind of creature was lying in wait, scattered on the mountain.

Lapins.

One attempted to pounce on the group, but it missed all of them. "Usopp, I bet," Sanji snarked.

"Uh, guys?"

"No! I heard it in a pub, in my village!" Luffy insisted, as Venus went unnoticed. The Lapin yanked its head out of the snow, and growled in anger, continuing its pursuit.

"Then why did that Dalton guy have a blanket?" Sanji challenged.

"That's a good point." It went in for a bite, but chomped down on a tree instead. "Maybe it's for when he dies then?"

"Guys?"

"Yeah, right!" They avoided a downed tree by leaping over it. Sure enough, klutzy Venus tripped on the landing, and fell in the snow "Venus-chan!" Sanji immediately backtracked, and helped her up, still dodging the predator. "Okay, did you know this: Women in snowy lands all have silky smooth skin!"

"How come?" The Lapin kept the chase up.

"Isn't it obvious? Whenever you're cold, you rub your skin for warmth." Venus stared on in confusion at the random banter. "So you get smooth skin."

"Fellas?" She kicked it away, but it stubbornly kept going

"So women in snowy places have such silky-smooth, white skin!"

'What the hell are they talking about?' Venus thought, before kicking the Lapin away again, and getting frustrated when it returned. "Boys!"

"How come it's white?"

"Because the color of the constantly-falling snow dyes their skin!"

"Huh?! You're so dumb!"

"Like you're really anyone to talk! And..." Just as Venus was about to try gaining their attention yet again, Sanji actually kicked the Lapin away, to her surprise. "Quit being so damn annoying!"

"What was with that guy?" Luffy wondered aloud.

Venus was quiet with exasperation, as they kept running. They noticed it the whole time?

"Hang in there, Nami-san!" Sanji urged through their sprint. "We're gonna get you to a doctor!"

"The snow's really deep around here," Luffy remarked.

"Guys, wait up!" Venus called out, having to take slower, higher steps. The snow was almost up to her hips. "My legs aren't as long as yours!"

"Hey, Luffy! Run more smoothly! You're gonna make Nami-san worse!" They then stopped, giving Venus time to catch up, but there was an obstacle in front of them; lots of them. "W-what are these?"

"They're white and big, so they're polar bears!" Luffy guessed. "I'm sure of it!"

"No, those are Lapins!" Venus' eye widened. "Dalton told us about these guys!"

"Wait! You know Wapol?!" Dalton exclaimed.

"We don't just know him!" Usopp replied. "He's the pirate who attacked our ship! I got rid of him, though," He claimed, "But I do recall him saying something about the Drum Kingdom."

"Yes," Vivi agreed, "There's no question about it! I remember clearly now! I met him once at a monarch meeting my father took me to when I was very young!"

Dalton looked up at that. "Monarch meeting?! Just who are you?"

"No, uhh, you see," She stammered, having said too much, before changing the subject, "In any case, we met Wapol! Yesterday, on our way here!"

"Yesterday?! Are you sure?!"

"But what's going on, then?!" She asked. "He called himself a pirate, not a king!"

"He must be calling himself that, as camouflage. Wapol is merely wandering the sea, trying to return to this island."

"So the people on that ship were kicked out, because they were no match for the Blackbeard pirates when they attacked this country?" She guessed.

"No match? It's not like that!" He glared at the snowy ground.

"Eh?"

"When it happened, Wapol's army didn't even try to fight!" Dalton shook with fury. "In fact, the moment he learned how strong the pirates were, Wapol abandoned the country, and was the very first to flee out to sea! That threw the entire nation into despair. Is this what the king-"

"Is that what the king of an entire country does?!" Vivi finished for him with immense anger. "That's appalling! A king abandoning his people!"

Usopp watched her in concern. "Vivi..."

"You're exactly right. But at least Wapol's tyranny is finally over. The remaining people on this island have come together to try to create a new country. So what we most fear right now is Wapol's return; the return of his monarchy. We must avoid that at all costs, while people are still feeling unsure! If we're to create a new, peaceful nation on this island!"

On the mountain, one of the giant Lapins leaped in the air, straight towards the group. "It jumped!" Sanji exclaimed. He and Luffy jumped out of the way, the former yanking Venus away, and protectively keeping her behind him. "You gotta be kidding me! How can it move like that?! What is it, a gorilla?!"

"No! A polar bear!"

"It's a bunny!" Sanji glared.

"You're the one who just called it a gorilla," Luffy pointed out.

"It's a Lapin!" Venus corrected.

"You're right, Venus-chan! Like what Dalton was talking about!" He turned to the pack standing in their way. "This many of them?!"

"How do we get past them?" Venus asked around nervously.

"Oh! Oh! Wapol-sama!"

"What is it, Chess? Did you find Straw Hat's ship?!"

"No, Wapol-sama! We've finally returned home!"

"What?!"

"How many months have passed, as we've wandered the sea?"

"It's our homeland! The Drum Kingdom! Truly?!"

ep49 (3/3): lwj dismembering a man and looking so so cool diverts attention away from the true man of the hour (👀👀👀)

and he's also calling out in concern for wwx now, not just jl! man, this is great. a lot of postres meta relies on them having this horrible twisted relationship after the temple, and they ABSOLUTELY need to work on shit, but jc trusting wwx and being openly concerned for him is huge compared to their previous dynamic

they love him!!!! his uncles!!! give him open affection and physical comfort!!!

this panning up was done SO well god he is so fucking cool 😍

ik wen ning isn't in control of his body but there's something a bit delicious about him stepping on the arm of the man who helped murder his entire family

ohhh another juicy scene! jc trying to protect jl from wn, and in front of both their eyes they see 1. wwx try to stop him and 2. wn grsab a blade with his bare hands to try to stop himself. he wants so much not to hurt this boy after killing his father 🥺 I'm sure he remembered jyl giving him soup too. I'm sure he did

lwj's eyes are so pretty...dark brown forever

and here! lxc warns wwx off about using the STA, but lwj intervenes. convinces him to step back, then gives the green light to wwx. lwj trusts him, and supports him, and will back him up 🥺

and here!!! jc returning chenqing! wwx's old friend and strongest weapon. it's about trust!! wwx can do what he needs to do and his closest friends and family won't turn on him for it

pied pipering this sword over here

uh oh. get some cleansing on ya bud

it's so funny that ss accuses nhs of doing this to himself because he's literally right, but he looks like a maniac for it

this is so dramatic and romantic...WAIT THIS IS HOW THE JIANG PARENTS DIED WTF!!!!!

these scene always reminded me (tonally) of the one in iasip where liam was about to fall off the roof and ryan grabbed his wrist like "i've got you, brother" and then frank comes behind him and goes 'no you don't!' and pushes him off the roof with a piece of plywood and ryan screams 'NOOOOOO', obviously it mirrors the cluff scene very closely but the absurd tone is so different I never associated them. this though. this is a kind of pathetic guy dying and his employer using his courtesy name for the first time in like. 30 episodes. a bit silly

ooof. ough. wwx rubbing his thumb slowly over this powerful tool that saved him and cost him so much. another goodbye, to another part of his former life

I love you sooo much nhs ♥♥♥♥♥♥

NHS HORSE MOMENTS god I love saying that. what a great shot

aww jc patting jl's neck

nhs tearfully: I'm just a little guy I can't fight I'm just a little birthday boy GOD he's such a good character I love him he's so funny

oh right significant Look At wwx time

aw man this fucks

THE HALF FACE SHOTS!!!!! I go crazy every time I love then so much. they've never been used wrong in this show

oh god help that is so fucking funny. why was jgy behind them and not tied up at all anyway. also lxc immediately turning and stabbing without realizing jgy was completely motionless and no threat??? a high-level cultivator like lxc didn't even register he had no sword to parry? and why was he working with his back to jgy anyway!!! I mean ik it's all for plot and that's fine but stil. lmao

personal highlights:

all of jgy's excuses are so insane and absurd and infuriating but they contrast wwx's actions and behavior SO nicely. if there was a way to prove wwx is The Good Guy to the gathered sect leaders, this is it. not that he has many people to convince who are here

various asides about lxc's relationship with jgy

"I don't deny it'/"You can't deny it!'

the creepy wedding scene was really well done

jgy making a fake tell for jzx to pick up on is truly a masterstroke

yayyy physical affection and comfort for jl from wwx (and jc)

jgy mockingly bowing after being kicked down the steps really did fuck severely

"I've done so many bad things, yet I still hope for pity' *half face shot 'PSYCH!" *takes jin ling hostage by ripping a string out of his body* what a scene

jc calling on wwx for guidance, trusting him, seeing him protect jl, returning him chenqing. nature is healing. they'll never be exactly what they were before, but that's okay. it's a start

'clan leader, abandon me' 'sure thing lmao'

slow shot panning up from jgy's severed arm to lwj standing tall with bichen fucked SO hard god lwj looks so good esp postres they nailed him

wn stepping on jgy's arm

lwj beautiful dark brown eyes <3

jgy and su she's absurdly dramatic reaching-to-each-other deaths. yes kind of jiang parents of them

wwx bidding farewell to the STA. I love closure and acceptance

all of nhs's shenanigans including eating like a horse from lxc's hand and then the half-face shots

everyone turning around like that meme of the girls at the party but it's because lxc just STABBED jgy

#cql re-rewatch #whew!

Note

the death note ask game nr 23 except for magireco instead of dearh note?

AH man this is an extremely difficult question because I have a bunch of moments I adore in MR. okay hmm lemme list the top three off the top of my head: (in no particular order?)

the last part of the final episode in San's MSS (translation video here! text TL was by me lol)

that was the moment that fully cemented HimeSan's position as my number one MR ship, even beyond freaking YunaJuri, and I could literally feel that happening as I got to that part. it was like. HOLY SHIT. San (with her significant discomfort in being vulnerable or showing any vulnerability or perceive "immaturity" etc) actually did cry in front of Himena because Himena said it was okay to be childish and. and like. everything.

(including the moment immediately after where the scene suddenly darkens and San - now suddenly calm again - tells Himena her resolve to do whatever it takes, even if she's hated or feared, to get to the top!! and that being a directly mirror to Himena telling this to San about her own resolve earlier!! and Himena telling her she really likes San's idea of subduing surroundings with force, and also saying she KNEW San was 'serious trouble' from day 1 and San being like "I don't want to hear it from you, Princess" and Himena replying to tell her she meant it as a compliment!! etc etc. my beloved dynamic)

god I can't articulate well rn (I probably should sleep soon) but it is so fucking insane to me. ... WAIT actually please see my Slides on HimeSan!! I love them

2. the final duel between Yuna and Juri in Crimson Resolve (credits to Ashes for the TL!) ..... also, btw. this is an event you can watch without needing to know anything else from the game and it's incredibly good imo pspsps

HOOOLY shit. CR was really an extremely unhinged event and yunajuri / juriyuna is an incredibly unhinged ship because like. WOW. dragon-tiger legendary homoerotic rivals and like a lot of other stuff I can't explain well rn. like this is not even the only example of it, but this was indeed the scene that really got me fully 100% really insane about yunajuri (because I got to see that Yuna really DOES fully... well in internet terms, "matches Juri's freak" to the whole after all! and stuff).

like. what the fuck is this

Juri: Listen, even if it's you, I can't go all out against ya while you're wounded. Yuna: *ominous red aura suddenly rising around her* I wonder about that...? Juri: *shocked* What the... Yuna: I did not come here to be defeated. Juri: You... Since when did you have such a clear intent to kill...? Yuna: I will go first. Juri: ...I guess you really are prepared. Yuna: Before we start, however, you have to promise me one thing. Juri: What, you want your girls back...? Yuna: Juri... *quietly chuckles* You're going to be mine. Juri: *blushes* Whoa... Juri: I kinda got a chill from that. Juri: Fine, if you win, I'll be all yours. Yuna: You won't break that promise, will you? Juri: I'm not that type.

and then after the fight / later into the fight:

Yuna: That's why... My grudge...my anger...my urge to kill... All of those have become my hope. Yuna: We shall make them bleed just as much as they made us bleed. Yuna: We shall make them pay for the blood we've spilled. Yuna: By stealing... Yuna: Their purification system! Yuna: So you have to help me, Juri. Yuna: You've already lost this fight. Juri: Juri-sama...can't work with whatever you are right now... Yuna: Can you not hear them inside of your head? [various cries and shouts of their fallen comrades] Yuna: Everyone's screams and cries...! Juri: Stop actin' batshit... Juri: This time, Juri-sama will put an end to your bloodlust... Juri: Let this dragon consume you already...! Juri: Gah... Yuna...? ---Telepathy--- Yuna: I'm the predator here. And you're my prey, Juri... Yuna: If you're not going to be mine, I will tear right into your neck. ---end telepathy--- Juri: Are you fuckin' serious...?

[important note: the event is in just live2D format (this is a gacha game, and this event doesn't get animated sadly), so we can't SEE exactly how they're moving, but like. see above? Yuna switched to telepathy suddenly while threatening to tear her neck apart. that basically means that she is most likely already biting onto her neck or at least touching it with her teeth. so yeah. literal canon neckbiting. and uh. might I add that Yuna being a strongly and overtly tiger-themed character doesn't help with this here, because as a part of tigers' mating rituals, the dominant tiger bites the neck of the submissive one while they mate. ... actually on that note have you ever heard of "Dragon-Tiger Intercourse", which is a real and very core concept in Taoism? yeah.]

3. ... Actually idk which goes here the best. I'll list some notable contenders

I love HimeSan (1)

okay I'm not going to list favourite/best events & MSS's here, or it'd take forever because I love so many different stories but. okay so Farewell Storage is so fken good in a way that is really personal to me, I'm EXTREMELY moved by the absolutely incredible ending... but also. I kinda cry at this specific part nearly every time because this is like. man. like this is not the exact same as it but it does have such a similar vibe to like. what I used to fantasize about as a coping mechanism sorta stuff when I was much younger. lmao. it's that sort of thing taken form and on a whole mikoto really is just like me fr

I love HimeSan (2)

sometimes even I wonder how come I'm like not especially into mikalight (I do like it! but it's just one of the several ships I like casually-ish). i mean real talk it makes sense because they are pretty different if we're talking seriously but like. yeah

god I have SO MANY more but I can't list all of them or it'll take forever. also I'm a bit tired

anyway if anyone's interested, you can check out this master translation sheet or the YT channel of the fan translation and fan archive group that I'm a part of, for more stories!

#magireco #i (ai)#thanks for the ask anon!!#asks #yunajuri #himesan #sorry if any of this is worded kinda weirdly. my brain feels a bit out of it today

Suicide, Posessiveness, Extreme Descriptions of Gore, Death of a Father Figure

Thank you.

Moth had fluttered to life at this point. She began to eat raw fruits from the hand of C4.

Flashlight began to think about motivations. Friendship Bracelet was quiet, Corazon and Birdfeed had a somber look, and Newspaper was literally sleeping the waiting period through.

“...what's on your mind?” Birdfeed asked.

“Look around the room. How many of us really wanna still… be here, y’know?” Flashlight asked. “Moth’s barely recovering from microhibernation, Newspaper is peaceful, but who knows how long that’ll last, and Braceletto is on a thread! :(“

“...” Birdfeed huffed smoke. “...you’re a leader, ain’t ya?” He asked, smoking some more. “..give ‘em a speech.”

“What?” Birdfeed pats Flashlight as she asks for clarification. “...go on. You got the words, you just gotta say ‘em.”

“..indeed you do.” Friendship Bracelet agreed.

“...alright. If you think so, Bracelet! ^^” Flashlight nodded. “Si si! Let me join?” Corazòn asked.

“Yeah, of course!” Flashlight nodded.

As Flashlight prepared a makeshift stage, Friendship Bracelet began to walk away. “..hey, where you going?” Flashlight asked her. “...I’ll be back.” She replied, simply.

“O-oh… okay!” Flashlight nodded, walking over to Newspaper.

“Hey buddy… uhm.. if you’re gonna wake up…” Flashlight told the sleeping object. “I’m gonna be preparing a speech! ..okay, bye!!” She now ran off, just as the object’s eyes blinked in confusion as it slowly became aware of its presence.

“Are you ready?” Flashlight asked Córazon. “Mhm!” He nodded.

“Alright.. here we go.” Flashlight cleared her throat.

“My fellow contestants!” She cried, causing most everyone to stare at her. “..sorry, uhm.. but listen! I know that.. it seems really hard right now. Everything we’ve been through - leading to this point, y’know?” Flashlight states. “..but we CAN’T give up now, y’know?”

“..but we’re going to be dwindled down regardless of what we do.” Melatonin Gummies stated. “Face it. We're likely going to lose someone regardless of motivation or not.” He’d state.

“Exactly!” C4 stated, “and… besides. I’m scared.” He curled into a ball. “...I wanna go home.” Newspaper added to him.

“Ay, si… si…” Corazòn would sigh. “I agree, pero..” he had to find the words, but Flashlight knew them.

“pero, we can't give up now. I know. I know it's… scary, and… terrifying and… it feels like the world itself may as well collapse soon but…” Flashlight sighs. “...but it won't. Okay? …I promise all of you, for as long as I’m capable… I'll be here. It's gonna be okay.” She held the hands of Newspaper now.

“Ehm… yes, okay, then… thank you all!” Corazón bows as he steps down the stage, concluding the speech.

As Corazón began to talk to Birdfeed, Friendship Bracelet walked back into the room. “...Bracelet?” Newspaper was the first to acknowledge her existence, letting go of Flashlight.

“...lady, you there?” Birdfeed had then walked over to her, snapping his fingers.

It was then Friendship Bracelet stared at Birdfeed, then back at the door, she began to move forwards.

“...Bracelet, you’re.. acting strange.” Flashlight noted, but there was no response. “...please, are.. are you okay? ..what happened? What did you—”

In a flash, she unveiled the razor blade box trap, reconstructed - and now ran at Flashlight.

Flashlight, in a fit of terror, decides to push.

It was then that Friendship Bracelet raised the box, however, it was a mere slash across Flashlight’s face that she was able to land - as C4 dragged her off Flashlight, Newspaper grabbed for the weapon.

Unfortunately, Friendship Bracelet easily pushed C4 away before lunging at Newspaper, just before she can kill him, Flashlight would grab Friendship and scream.

“BRACELET! STOP! PLEASE! JUST STOP IT! WHAT’S WRONG?! I JUST.. just STOP.” She begged. Surprisingly, Friendship Bracelet merely pushed away rather than trying to kill her. “You… you don't understand! THIS IS THE WAY OUT!” She screamed. “..this is the way out, okay?” She shuddered. “...we’re NOT going to survive out there, Flashlight. FACE THAT.” She demanded. “..but y’know what? …we can die. Quick and easy. Right now, okay?” She pleaded.

Birdfeed stepped forward, but Flashlight blocked him. “...Bracelet. Please… we’re so close. We’ve been here just 3 weeks - you don't KNOW that we won't survive.” She said.

“I KNOW! ..but if I have to go through another death. Another scream. Another person to haunt me forever…” Friendship Bracelet shakes her head. “Flashlight, I’m sorry.” Friendship Bracelet now backs up against the wall. “...goodbye.”

It was then that Friendship Bracelet slit her throat open and fell to the floor. It took a mere second or two for Flashlight to start screaming. “NO, BRACELET! PLEASE! DON’T GO! WE STILL HAVE SO MUCH LONGER TO GO!” She shook. “Please! …please? …please.”

The scene had extended on for so long that nobody realized that The Hostess was back. “...wow! That's really a TWIST!”

A bouncy sound effect played.

“...what the fuck is wrong with you?” C4 asked.

“Nothing is, but y’know what's wrong? ;)” She giggled.

“SOMEONE JUST KILLED THEMSELVES AND YOU’RE FUCKING LAUGHING?!” Boba Milk Tea screamed.

“Nooo! Neverrrr.. noo…” The Hostess said. “I’m just pointing something outttt…”

“What is it?” Corazòn asked.

“IT’S GAME TIME!!!” Music jingled through the room as the door opened.

“...I’m not ready.” Flashlight sobbed. “..I.. I’m sorry everybody.”

“...Flashlight, you don't gotta do this alone.” Birdfeed said. “...it's not that. I… I quit. Okay?” Flashlight said. “...I need time to mourn and… I… I can't assure you all that I'm ready to just… move on so quickly.” She sniffles. “...please.”

Birdfeed nods. “...I quit too. I’m moving with you all, but the next room over is the room I’m staying in. Are we clear?”

“Oh, of course! Quit at any time! ..you have to rejoin, eventually, after all. =)” The Hostess bow dispensed CALL buttons for the two quitters. “You’ll starve if you don't…. everyone else? LET’S PLAY!!”

It was then that everyone began to move on into the other room.

“This game is simple! I’m sure you can all see that…” The Hostess announced: “This is a maze! Within this maze, you must all find the way out. I’m sure you’ll all be smart enough to find the way out… without dying that is.”

Newspaper now asked, “How would we—”

“GO!” The Hostess sounds a horn.

Birdfeed lights a cigarette as he nods. “...this is where I get off, alright?”

“...goodbye. I guess.” Newspaper sighed as he began to follow Corazón with the others.

The Maze wasn't particularly clean, rather the opposite. Full of moss and probably moldy, though it seemingly got cleaner at points nobody was sure in what condition The Maze was supposed to be.

“Where are we going??” Boba Milk Tea asked. “I’m not sure…” Corazón stated.

Melatonin Gummies was nowhere to be found as he suddenly left the group. “W-wait! Shouldn’t we..? ..sigh.” Newspaper shook his head.

Moth chirped, seemingly requesting something. “..what is it?” Corazón asked her. Moth chirped once more. “...you're right. Alright, go ahead!”

Moth now flew off to where Melatonin Gummies was headed. “..look! A light!” Corazón now headed in the direction of the light, leading the three people still following him.

As the light slowly became more and more clear… it unfortunately came to fruition that it was truly a false exit. A mirage. Merely a fluorescent light blaring from a high place on the wall. “..ah…” Corazón nods at the group.

As he began to step back towards them, he tripped something - a trap. A glass wall no emerged and was locked in place as it began moving towards Corazòn.

Corazòn and Co. panic and try to get him out - “EH?!” This was the sentiment first exclaimed by Corazón which was shared by basically everyone in the group. “H-HOLD ON!” C4 screamed.

“..no.” Corazón shook his head now. “..there is no escape from this. I bid farewell, si?” Corazón now just… accepts his death. “N-no! Hold on! We can get you out!” Boba Milk Tea pleaded.

but it was too late. The wall had pressed up against Corazón and as the sound of crushing bone and cracking flesh sounded… POP.

…what remained of Corazón was merely a splatter of organs and blood.

“Ohhh! So close!” The Hostess would giggle. “Our sixth placer is Contestant: Corazón!” She announced. “Pop goes the heart!”

As the PA fizzles out, C4 pauses, eye twitching.

“...y’know what? Fuck this.” He says, before anyone can speak over him though - “I’m fucking TIRED of being scared of this chick. Every fucking DAY we spend here is spent wondering ‘Ohhh, when is she coming back?’ ‘Oh, oh!! What's the next challenge’ FUCK THAT! FUCK ALL OF THIS!” C4 stamps.

“...so, what do we do?” Newspaper asked. “...we walk. We trek to the end, and we fucking jump The Hostess the first chance we get.” C4 huffs.

As he huffed though. “...hm.” He walks over to the area - the one they hadn't crossed. “...”

“There's barely any mold.” He states.

“What?” Boba Milk Tea would ask. “Follow me.”

So the two did, and eventually? They made it out.

“..finally.” Melatonin Gummies says, Moth in lap. “You guys take too long.”

“Melatonin, Corazón—”

“Died? Go figure. The solutions are always so easy, yet you always make it harder than it has to be.” The box of sleep-inducing gummy discs said.

The Intercom crackled. “Congratulations! Wow…”

“...final five?” Melatonin Gummy fills in.

“Yes! but also four in one episode?! Wow!! You guys suck. :)” The Hostess chuckles. “Seriously, I wasn't expecting the finale to come so early, but I suppose it's here now! HAHA!! Oh well, toodles~!”

As the intercom crackled one last time, the contestants stared at one another. They hadn't any words, it's far too tiring at this point to give a reaction to someone who is the literal devil, after all.

END.

OMG is it too much to ask for a continuation of the last person's ask request ? Like I loved it so much but was heartbroken at the angst ending. Could you like do where the reader has to adjust to him being there and they work through there feelings them eventually falling hard for zuko as they did for Lee and Zuko tries his best to make things right them and whether or not it works is up to you I'm down for a surprise will they/won't they?

I’m going to... scream

someone, you my friend, loved my fic SO MUCH you want a continuation??????

I owe u my life thank you so much 💕💕💕💕

side bar I watched The Western Air Temple to get the true 👌🏻👌🏻 canon compliance of this ask and I am like, not okay. i would give my life for Zuko and the episode is SUCH a rollercoaster and a masterpiece of the group’s collective opinions of Zuko, I could go off but I’m not gonna. mostly? 18 y/o me cannot handle the resurgence of 6 y/o me that just crushes on Zuko like crazy

this is gonna be another long one because I actually really like this storyline? also ya boi is a sucker for angst

continuation of this post

You’d stalked back into the temple, finding an empty room to sulk in, anger and sadness and betrayal and all sorts of upset wrestling in your heart. You thumped your back against the wall, scowling, and reached up to wipe a tear you weren’t aware had fallen, forcefully, as though you were angry at it.

Maybe you were.

Zuko had betrayed you. He had been given the choice, and he chose poorly. He had no excuse for that. You could’ve even understood if he’d regretted it immediately, but he hadn’t! He had stayed in the fire nation for months!

What had changed? What had rocked his life so deeply that he’d come to the avatar? Was he being honest, or was it a trap? You wouldn’t put a trap past him, not after all of his past treachery.

Though you didn’t want to see him, you did want to know what was going on, in case there was a fight and you needed to intervene. It was as good a time as ever, you decided, to practice seismic senses. You weren’t quite good at it yet, and not nearly as good as Toph, but you’d been learning.

Pushing off of the wall with a motion still angry, you took a step forward and kneeled, settling both knees onto the floor. Already you closed your eyes, regulating your breathing as though deep in meditation.

The touch of your fingertips to the stone floor was light, at first, feathery, but slowly you moved your hands forward and laid the palm down. You stilled, your body not moving even a bit, and slowly a scene began to take form. It wasn’t a picture, and you couldn’t see it exactly, it was like the way that your fingers could find your nose even when your eyes were closed. You just knew, as though the ground itself was an extension of your body.

You could sense Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, standing together and facing Zuko. You couldn’t quite understand his movements, but you knew they were frantic, whereas Team Avatar stood ready in stances prepared to fight.

The image went fuzzy as your heartbeat sped up, and by the time you could get it to clear up again enough to make sense of it, Zuko was gone. You stood up, and walked back out to the rest of the group, fists clenched at your side.

“So you kicked him out, huh?”

“We had to!” Katara said, a snarl in her voice. “He’s-“

“Don’t defend yourself to me,” you interrupted, “I probably would’ve done something worse.” There was a pause, in which you followed their lead to grab your sleeping bundle from Appa’s saddle. “And even if I hadn’t, my voice will only confuse our decision. I’m not even sure what I think of him, but I know I’m angry.”

“We can’t trust him,” Katara said, and you dropped your bundle so you could use it as a seat.

“I kind of have a confession to make,” Aang said, and the night only got weirder from there.

When Toph came back, you weren’t surprised she’d been burnt. And you weren’t surprised when Combustion Man resurfaced, too. You had the forethought to throw a rock shield from rubble in front of your friends, but very quickly Aang and Katara’s attempts at fighting back made the five of you realize you needed to find an even better place to hide.

What did surprise you was that Zuko swooped in, to try to stop the assassin. Despite everything about yourself, despite everything he’d done, you felt cold dread grip your heart when he was thrown back over the edge of the temple, and may have even tried to save him if it weren’t for Combustion Man’s constant explosions.

But Sokka did what Sokka did best, and soon the assassin was gone, leaving behind a clear view of the fire prince climbing a vine back up to safety.

“Oh. Zuko made it,” you said, your tone halfway between relief and annoyance.

His speech to Aang was everything you expected to hear, and it seemed as though he’d earned Aang’s forgiveness. Your heart still racing, you listened, to Aang’s words. You didn’t dare look at Zuko, and so stood beside Katara, staring at the ground by her feet. You tried to let anger be your shield, because Zuko’s presence made you remember all to easily how much you cared for him, even if it was a different part of him, under a different name.

“Now I know you understand how easy it is to hurt the people you love.” The sentence made you lift your head, and for the first time you let your gaze slide to Zuko. You caught his eye, just for a moment, as though the sentence had had the same effect on him. But he brought his focus back to Aang, to be told that he needed permission from all members of Team Avatar. Toph and Sokka’s answers were affirmative, and you knew yours would be the same- but that didn’t mean that you had to go easy on him.

“Y/N?” Aang asked, and you raised your chin, though still your gaze was on the floor, unfolding your arms from your chest.

“There’s good in him,” you started, and you raised your gaze finally to Aang. “I’ve seen it. And if you think that this is proof that he can let it-“ you slid your eyes to Zuko, a soft glare making up your expression. “-guide his actions,” you looked back to Aang with a small nod, “then I’m okay with it.” You didn’t dare look back at Zuko, you didn’t want to know his reaction. But mostly, you didn’t want to see his face, remind yourself how much you still cared for him.

It was easy, you decided as you laid in bed that night, to hate him when he wasn’t in front of you. It was easy to be angry and talk of how you’d hurt him when you couldn’t see him, hear his voice. But now that he was here, and you’d watched him fight, you knew that that wasn’t the truth of it. You still cared for him. Lee hadn’t been washed away in Ba Sing Se- the aspects of Zuko’s personality that Lee was made of were still there, and very much alive. You saw it in the small smile he’d let himself crack when you glanced back as Team Avatar walked away from him.

The boy you’d almost fallen in love with was very much alive. And though he’d betrayed you, he’d hurt you, he’d betrayed and hurt the people you cared about- it didn’t stop you from wanting to love him again.

“Y/N?” came Zuko’s voice from just outside your door, and your first response was to earthbend a slab from the floor that sealed the door shut. “I know you’re angry, please, just let me in so that I can talk. You don’t need to listen, or look at me, I just want to say things to you. I need to.” Despite yourself, you wanted to hear what he had to say, and so you uncurled just enough to pull your slab through the door, though you didn’t move it far enough to allow him to enter the room.

Reaching down to press your palm to the floor, you used seismic sense to make out that he’d sat down on the other side of the slab.

“Thank you,” were his first words, and you assumed that he meant for moving the slab. You were wrong. “-for saying that about me. You, I feel like I’ve hurt you the most. I know that that’s selfish, or- or ignorant, because I’ve done terrible things to Aang and Sokka and Katara, but-“ he sighed, and you heard what you thought was an impact between palm and forehead.

“But when I did those things to them, I didn’t care about them. I cared about you.” Though you couldn’t see him, through your little wall of rock, his words made you turn, rolling over to face where his body was.

“I cared about you a lot, and still I let Azula-“ once again he cut himself off. “You deserve a proper explanation, Y/N, even if it isn’t a good one.”

“My mom always treated me differently than my sister, I know that. My father did too, but in a different way. He didn’t- he wanted nothing to do with me. I was his eldest, his son, and he didn’t seem to like me at all. He was the one that gave me my scar, you know.” His next sentence was lost on you as you sat up, anger hot as lightning coursing through your veins.

You knew that scar had come from a firebender. But between Ba Sing Se and this moment, you’d been so caught up in your anger that you never stopped to realize that Zuko was a firebender too, and so a firebender must’ve hurt another firebender, and who would’ve done that? His father, the fire lord? If Aang didn’t take him down, you decided that you would.

“I spent years blindly searching for the avatar, not letting anything get in my way. I was so cruel. To Katara and Sokka, to Toph and Aang, I was so cruel because I just wanted to go home. I wanted to earn my honor, but moreso I just wanted to show my father that I could do what he asked.” You heard a tremor in his voice.

“And I was so blind, it made me ignore how important my uncle was to me. I see it now- and I think back on his face right after I betrayed him, and I just feel so ashamed.” He paused, leveling his voice before he said his next words.

“I think about how you looked. When Azula said that you were my enemy, too. I know it’s no excuse, but she’s so manipulative, she’s such a-“ There was quiet as he let out a breath.

“I don’t regret spending my time in Ba Sing Se with you. But I do regret how it ended. You have every reason to be angry with me, you’re right to be. I’m so sorry, Y/N.” You thought, for a moment, that he was done, but still he didn’t move.

“When I went back to the fire nation, I fell back in with an old girlfriend I’d had before I was banished. But it felt wrong. It felt like- like I was just with her to try to regain my life from before, but I wasn’t that person anymore. I wrote her a letter, but I didn’t know what to say, and...” Zuko paused, and sighed. You wondered, with a bit of bitterness, why he would tell you about a girlfriend he’d had between the last time the two of you saw each other. Wasn’t he just giving you more reason to be angry with him?

“I’ll never have enough words to tell you how sorry I am. And I know I don’t deserve a second chance from you. I deserve nothing but hatred and- and anger and everything you can throw at me, because I asked for it when I turned against you.” You stared at your slab, and wondered how long it would be before your eyes bore holes straight through it.

“Just... just know that I’m sorry, and I- I’m never going to treat you like that again.” He took a deep breath, as though meditating, or summoning his courage. “Know that I’ve thought about you almost every day. About that time you spilled tea on me and tried to pay for a replacement shirt, and-“ he tapered off, and let out the rest of his breath. “You’re probably asleep.” He was silent, for a moment, as he reached up to press his hand onto the rock keeping him from you.

“Goodnight, Y/N.” You heard him stand up and walk away.

You remembered the night he was talking about. Mushi- Iroh- had let you stay past when the shop closed, before you worked there. Zuko had sat down across from you and closed your textbook whenever you tried to read, and finally you’d gotten frustrated and put it away. You’d tried to put your feet up, but instead kneed the table, and sent his cup rolling, spilling his tea onto his shirt.

Looking back on it, it made sense why the heat of the tea didn’t bother him. He was a firebender, after all.

The part that he’d failed to mention tonight was how he’d walked to a back room to get another shirt, as you followed, insisting on paying for the ‘damages’. But the words had caught in your throat when he took off his shirt because wow, and that was all you could really fathom yourself to think, and you’d stuttered, and he’d just laughed before putting another shirt on.

You wondered, now, if things would have turned out differently if you had kissed him that night, instead of pulling away. Had you called him boyfriend, would he have been so quick to betray you?

Laying down slowly, you reached out to press your palm to the ground again. It took you a moment to get a clear seismic understanding, as your heart was pounding and your breath shaking, but you could sense him in the room he’d taken up as his own. You pulled your hand to your chest, losing the image, and closed your eyes.

Your throat burned the next morning.

ok this bitch got LONG AS FUCK so stay tuned for a pt 3 probably tomorrow

Well now I gotta ask for mammon and jin interactions where says "don't go stay" probably after he comes back after years being a wa at from home :3

omg the lore tablets king go off <3 hand to make an undercut bc i type too much LOL

Leaving after such a humiliating experience would probably be for the best. His involvement with Diavolo was meant to stay private, but now the entire house knew what was happening. For his entire first year, he was made a willing slave to the King of Hell. He wished he never consented to all the disgusting things he did, drunk on pleasure. It was all coming back to bite him.

Normally he would have been fine with this, standing up tall with a big smirk on his face. "Yes, I fucked the King of Hell, and he liked it!" He imagined.

But when family is involved, it becomes a whole other story. The look of disgust on Satan and Jinx's faces were clear as day. When he looked over to Mammon, he wore an expression that even Jin couldn't process at the time. Even now, he had no clue what was going on in Mammon's head.

Whenever Mammon was nice to him, it was always to get advice on how to win over Jinx before. How to make Jinx happy. How to make Jinx love him. It was always about his sister. But what would he gain out of being nice to him now that she's started dating Beelzebub?

His mind was too scrambled to think about it now. With so much happening in mere seconds, he couldn't process anything. Dots weren't connecting, and it was driving him mad the longer he thought about it. So he made up his mind.

He turned the knob on his door and quietly peeked his head out. With his wings folded onto his back, he was hyper aware of each step he took, and how much space he devoured in his form. Quiet steps so no one could hear, with practiced ease he made it to the door, opening it wide. Rain. The violent pitter patter of fat raindrops hitting the porch and pavement made him hyper aware. Of all the nights...

He shut the door, losing interest for a split second. When he turned to go back up the stairs, he stopped when he found a head of white hair standing at the top step.

"I knew ya would." Came the cold accusation. "Jin... why ya' leavin'?"

Jin forced himself into a monotone voice, stony and uninterested. "This isn't anything new. I just need some space. I need time to think, alright? A lot has happened in the last few weeks and I just need to clear my head."

"I know that ain't all yer tellin' me. Shit's been crazy, but when has it not been? Back when we were all cheering yer little sister on at her winter sports games, you were out killin' people... And even before then, you were caught up in depressive episodes left an' right and never told nobody. What makes now different?"

Jin chewed his lip, nodding his head slowly. He was right. Things have been hectic ever since he was 15. He still hears their screams every night, but he can force himself to be unbothered. Why now?

"I can't sleep..." he admits. "I can barely eat, I don't know how to handle this stuff. It's different when it was with Asmo. My dirty secrets weren't out in the open."

"Yeah, but Asmo respected you, didn't he?" He places a hand gently on the stairs railing as he makes his way down slowly. He's seen a thousand times how gentle Lucifer treats him, like he's glass. "Diavolo ain't never respected you. Why do it...?"

Jin lifted a hand. "No," he said, growing irritable. "No, I don't have to explain this. I'm a grown man, I don't have to explain myself to anyone. I'm leaving, and that's that. I'll be back when I want to."

When he got like this, Mammon usually would back down and cower in fear of angering his best friend. But now was different. He couldn't just keep running away from his problems, he learned how that would end. "You could leave... but then what? You worry us all that something else happens?"

"Well you'll know where I am, won't you?"

"Yeah but they'll still be just as worried that yer gonna do something stupid! Listen," and Mammon leans in, his hands raised to his chest. He's clearly shaking from anxiousness, wanting to hug him tight. "There's enough here between us that you should feel obligated to talk to me, so we can iron this out now! If you think I'm upset with you or disgusted or anything, well I'm not dammit!"

"There is nothing to talk about, Mams."

"Prove it," Mammon declares. He grabs Jin by his collar with both hands, desperation in his voice. It almost breaks Jin's heart, but he seizes up out of anxiety instead. Too close. Far too close. "Stay..."

It takes him a moment. Mammon may not be disgusted with him, but there are a more people living here than just him. There are too many people who care about his image, and now have it soiled because of that embarrassment. With clammy fingers, he wraps them around Mammon's wrists gently and pulls them away. The shock of fear that raised from Mammon's face felt like being hit by a truck for Jin. The moment of defeat in his eyes made a tear well up in his eyes.

"No..." came the watery begging. "Don't go. Don't leave me here, please stay..." Jin only shook his head. He couldn't stay. His pride was once again hurting the ones he loved, but he couldn't help himself. He couldn't be here to smile and pretend everything was okay. He couldn't sit around while they gossiped behind his back. Without full context to why he did it, to why he let Diavolo do what he wanted. Without knowing that this was his punishment for letting anything happen to his sister.

"I can't stay... I can't. But I-I promise, I will come home, okay? I can't stay away forever..." He let go of Mammon's hands and stepped back towards the door again. The last of home he saw was Mammon crying and begging him not to leave. Mammon, telling him he loved him and that he can't do this to him. Mammon reminding him of Jinx and what would she do without him? What would Asmo do? Beel, or Lucifer? The family needed him, and he was leaving them for this. What about him?

What about them?

Explosion + Hands + Jack

A MacGyver Fan-Fiction

by @emachinescat

@febuwhump day 22 - burned

Summary: A bomb Mac is disposing of goes off prematurely – and Mac’s hands pay the price. Or, the time when Jack has to be Mac's hands.

Characters: Mac, Jack

Words: 2,945

TW: Relatively graphic description of burns

Note: This story is based loosely off a scene from classic MacGyver. Also, please take the vague MacGyverism with a grain of salt. I did some research (and also wrote this before Mac made the same thing a different way on the newest episode), but I also took some creative liberties.

Keep reading here, or on AO3!

If you enjoy, please consider liking, commenting, or re-blogging, and you can follow me for more content like this!

"These have to be the stupidest bad guys I've ever met," Jack griped. He sat in an old dining chair, ankles lashed together with rope and hands tied behind his back. MacGyver was his mirror image, tied similarly, in another chair, back to back with his partner. Their bound hands had been connected to each other, so every time Mac moved, working the ropes, Jack's arms jerked with him.

Even though he couldn't see Mac's face, he could clearly picture the raised eyebrow in his mind's eye as Mac responded dryly, "And you're… complaining about it?"

A cramp ran through Jack's upper back, and he instinctively rolled his shoulders. Mac squawked indignantly as Jack's movement impeded his progress. "Hey, watch it! You almost made me stab myself!"

"Sorry." Jack paused for a brief moment, trying not to think about why Mac was working so feverishly to cut through the thick ropes with his knife – seriously, they hadn't taken his knife before they'd tied them up! – without cutting himself or Jack. "You about got it, hoss?"

Mac's voice was strained with concentration when he responded. "Just … about," he grunted. "Keep talking."

Jack smirked. "Can't get enough of hearing ol' Jack's wisdom, huh?"

"It's more like white noise, but if it makes you feel better…"

"It does." Jack continued on his earlier line of conversation. "I'm just sayin', man, these lunatics didn't leave nobody here to keep an eye on us, and they left Angus MacGyver tied with regular ol' rope with his SAK in his pocket and a room stock fulla toys he can use to escape." When he spoke, Jack's Texas drawl was thicker than usual. He'd noticed that his accent got more pronounced when he was nervous or in a rough situation. He'd mentioned it to Mac once, and his partner had quickly informed him that it was more than likely a coping mechanism, Jack's way of unconsciously trying to keep himself calm. Jack disagreed. He was convinced that his cowboy twang got heavier in nerve wracking situations because he was actively channeling the spirit of Clint Eastwood and his mind and body were preparing him to do some insanely awesome hero stuff to fix the situation.

"Yeah, well… they also left a bomb in the room," Mac reasoned. Jack could feel the sawing motion as Mac carefully made his way through the rope. Any other time, Jack knew that he would have cut through it in half the time, but with all four of their collective hands gathered together in one bundle of scratchy rope, Mac had to move slowly, methodically, so he didn't cut either one of them. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take his time, but as Mac had so helpfully pointed out, there was the matter of a ticking bomb just out of arm's reach. And they had no idea how much time was left.

Jack tried to paint their situation in a better light. "It's just a little one. The explosion won't even be all that big."

"No," Mac agreed, "but with all the gasoline they scattered around us, I think it's a safe bet that the size of the explosion won't matter, since we'll burn with the warehouse."

A snap, a sigh of relief, and then Jack felt Mac move in the chair, and knew he was bending forward to untie his feet. As soon as he was free, Mac pelted forward so quickly that he pushed the chairs back a couple of inches, Jack and all. He didn't stop to untie Jack – no time – but he did leave the SAK in his palm. Jack immediately started sawing at his own ropes.

He was still working when he heard Mac swear loudly from somewhere behind him. A queasy dread settled in Jack's gut.

"Talk to me, Mac!"

"No time!" Mac spat, and Jack knew, heart stuttering, that his partner wasn't just saying that he had no time to talk – there was no time on the bomb.

"I can't disarm it!" Mac yelled, his voice growing farther away as he ran, presumably with the bomb in tow, away from Jack. "I'm going to try to contain it!"

Jack continued to cut at the ropes – almost there! He heard the sound of something metal being pried open, and he remembered that there was a large dumpster near the door of the warehouse, one of those industrial ones. Hope rose cautiously within him. Mac had done similar things before; there was no reason why it shouldn't work this time!

The one thing that he didn't factor in, however, was the bomb's timer running out before Mac could close the dumpster.

He heard the explosion, a terrible, anguished scream, and then, the worst sound of all – low, uncontrollable, rocking sobs of pain.

Jack cut himself three times in his haste to get free, but he made it to Mac's side in less than a minute. What he saw made his stomach curdle and his hands shake as he pulled Mac back, further from the smoking dumpster.

Mac had curled into himself on the floor, his hands gnarled before him in pain. Once they'd moved a safe distance from the mostly contained bomb, Jack took a closer look at them and nearly vomited – not from the blood or the burns themselves, but from the knowledge that these were Mac's hands that had been caught in the explosion, burned, blistered, and bloody almost beyond recognition. Jack knew he should be grateful that all of Mac's fingers were intact, but it was hard to feel thankful for anything when Mac's hands could serve as a suitable stand-in for ground beef.

Mac's head was low, chin flush against his chest, his shoulders trembling in pain. Jack remembered when Mac had sustained first and second degree burns pulling his dumb ass out of a crematorium. Jack too had been burned on the bottoms of his feet, and the healing process for both Mac and himself had been one of the most painful experiences either of them could recall in recent memory. There had been debriding, cleaning, bandages, antibiotics, and, in Mac's case, a few sessions of physical therapy.

This was so much worse.

"Mac, buddy," Jack entreated, trying to keep his voice steady for his partner's sake. His accent was slathered liberally on every syllable, his voice gentle and quiet, like he was approaching a startled horse. "I need you to look at me. Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Mac didn't respond, just heaved in a great gulp of air, and the breath rattled in his lungs like the last throes of a dying man. The sound clenched its icy fist around Jack's heart. He reached out, placing his index and middle fingers carefully beneath Mac's chin and lifting his kid's head to look him in the eyes. What he saw there nearly killed him.

Jack had been Mac's overwatch for a long time, and he'd seen the kid in a lot of less than ideal situations – roughed up, sick, shot, you name it. But never had Jack seen the level of fear and pain blazing in Mac's eyes as he did now. Tear streaks ran down his face, which was sooty and a bit red, especially around his forehead, but the burns on his face were superficial. Definitely first-degree. He'd managed to shield his face and eyes from the blast.

But his hands… Mac had to have just let go of the bomb to drop it in the dumpster for his hands to look like that but still be basically intact. Jack moved his hand from Mac's chin and cupped his partner's face in his hand, gently brushing a tear away, trying to get Mac's attention on him, to calm him down. "Mac, talk to me." He had no idea how he was keeping himself from crying right alongside his friend. "I need to know you're with me."

Mac hiccuped, took a deep breath through his nose and made a visible effort to calm himself down. When he spoke, every bit of the agony Jack saw in his face translated to his voice. "I–I'm okay."

Jack chuckled, but there was no humor to it. "I don't believe that for a second. But you will be, ya hear me?"

Mac nodded shakily, a low, keening whine building at the base of his throat like a wounded hound dog. He choked out, "It h-hurts."

"I know, bud. Can I see your hands?"

Mac shook his head, pulling his hands closer to his body. "Not yet. We n-need to find a way out of here f-f-first." Mac's teeth had started chattering, which sent a whole new wave of fear tearing through Jack's body. If Mac was going into shock, they were really out of time. And as much as Jack wanted to get a better idea of the damage, figure out what they were working with, he knew Mac was right. In all the chaos and worry, he'd almost forgotten that they were still locked in the warehouse with a smoking dumpster slowly turning the air against them. From where they sat on the floor, the air wasn't bad yet, but they needed to kick it into third gear – it wouldn't stay that way for long.

"Okay," Jack agreed. "How do we get out? As I recall, they've padlocked all the doors from the outside, and this whole place is made of steel. Can you figure out how to make something to bust those doors down?"

Mac's eyes, glazed with pain, darted around the warehouse, which had until very recently been one of the stashes of the cartel that had captured them. "Uhhh…" His voice broke, and Jack saw Mac's hands twitch in a painful spasm out of the corner of his eye. Fresh tears welled up, and Mac blew out a shaky breath. "Okay. Yeah. We should b-be able to make a blowtorch to c-cut us out of here."

Jack shot Mac a dubious look. "You're not makin' anything hoss, and I sure as hell don't know how to make a blowtorch. Think you got it in you to walk me through it?"

Mac didn't look so sure, and Jack's stomach flipped as he saw how much the trembling had increased. Still, MacGyver was never one to admit defeat, and he nodded. His voice was thick with pain, dry and raspy, but he managed to walk Jack through a collection of basic supplies, all of which were readily available in their current space – an empty syringe, a thumbtack, pliers, lighter fluid, and Jack's own lighter, which the bad guys had left on him. Seems the only things they'd actually taken were their prisoner's phones.

By the time Mac had coached Jack through the process of actually building the DIY blowtorch, an incredibly precise and delicate venture that Jack barely managed with his sausage-like fingers, smoke was beginning to gather in earnest, and Mac was shaking so badly that he sounded like he was working a jackhammer when he talked. But Jack had finished it, and to his shock and utter relief, it worked – he'd not doubted Mac, of course, but his own ability to bring Mac's idea to fruition – and Mac had offered a pained, crooked smile at him, and said, "S-s-see, we m-make a p-p-pretty good t-team." Then, whether from pain or shock or hyperventilation, he passed out, and Jack only spared enough time to check his vitals before he used his lighter-turned-blowtorch to cut his way through the steel wall of the warehouse.

It was a slow process, and Jack burned himself no less four times, but at last he'd carved their escape route. The men who'd left them here to burn had gone. Jack hoisted Mac onto his shoulder, taking extra care not to jostle his mangled hands, and set out in search of a phone – he knew there was a gas station a few miles away.

Mac just had to hold on until then.

***

24 Hours Later

Jack was there when Mac woke up from his first surgery.

Jack was always there when Mac woke up in medical.

Mac peered at him through groggy, drug-hazy eyes and gave his partner a weak smile. "Hey, Jack."

Jack fought the urge to pull the kid into the tightest bear hug he'd ever experienced. Only a glance down at Mac's heavily bandaged hands lying delicately on his chest kept him where he was, in the cushioned hospital chair that played at being comfortable but really wasn't after ten minutes. Jack had been sitting in it for nearly sixteen hours, give or take, not counting bathroom breaks and coffee runs. Others had stopped by at various times, too – Matty, Bozer, and Riley chief among them – but right now it was just Jack and Mac. The way it had always been.

The way it would always be.

"Hey, kiddo. How're ya feelin'?"

Mac thought about this for a long moment, his brow furrowed in concentration like he was trying to figure out some complicated equation. Finally, he answered, "Weird."

Jack threw his head back and laughed, though what Mac had said in no way warranted the kind of reaction he was getting. It was like all of the stress and fear and uncertainty and trauma of the last day were riding the shockwave of that almost manic laugh.

Mac's eyebrows creased further in concern. "What's so funny?"

Jack scrubbed at his eyes with his sleeve, not sure if his eyes were watering from laughing, or if he had started crying somewhere along the way. "Nothing, hoss. What feels weird?"

"Floaty?" Mac answered uncertainty. From where Jack was sitting, Mac looked all of seven years old, tucked into the hospital bed in the Phoenix recovery ward, hair messy, eyes tired and confused.

Jack patted Mac on the shoulder, and Mac stared at the hand like it was the most surprising thing he'd ever encountered. Damn, they had him on the good stuff. He told Mac as much.

Mac's eyes were already drifting shut, the pull of the drugs too strong. "You go to sleep," Jack said softly, unable to keep himself from brushing a stray lock of hair from Mac's reddened forehead. "We can talk more when you wake up."

Mac, for once, did as he was told.

Jack spent the night at Mac's side, of course, despite Matty's urging that he go home and get some sleep. He wouldn't have been able to sleep, anyway, even if he had been in his own bed. He couldn't stop thinking, stop remembering. When he looked at Mac now, he saw pristine white bandages and the kind of tentative peace that could only come from whatever drugs they had him on – probably morphine and a cocktail of antibiotics, if he had his guess.

The problem was, Jack knew what lay beneath the bandages. He had seen, once he had finally found a phone and called for help, the extent of damage that had been done to Mac's hands up close. And it terrified him.

Even now every time he closed his eyes, even to blink, he could see his kid's hands, covered in burns, some so deep that Jack swore he could see tendons. They were bloody and blistered and the angriest shade of red Jack had ever seen.

He also saw, whenever his body betrayed him and he started to doze off, the way that MacGyver had writhed and twitched and moaned even while unconscious as Jack tried to examine them. His mind dragged him back to the Phoenix chopper, where a medical team immediately gave Mac painkillers and started debriding the burns. Mac had woken up then, thrashing and screaming the most terrible, guttural, animal screams, and Jack had been forced to hold him down while the medics worked, and he'd cried alongside Mac, and after they'd landed and Mac had been rushed in, Jack had found the nearest trash can and puked his guts out.

Even now, one surgery down, it was far from over. The doctor's prognosis had been hopeful, but cautious. Mac should be able to gain control of his hands again, should be able to build things and destroy Jack's phones and return fist bumps and high fives, and open doors and climb and pick things up and shoot hoops and anything else he wanted to do… but it would take time.

Six surgeries, minimum, to repair damage to tendons, do skin grafts. Mac's hands would always bear some scars, even though Phoenix had flown in the best surgeons in the country to rebuild the hands that usually did the rebuilding. And the few sessions of physical therapy he'd been through the last time he'd burned his hands were child's play to the PT he had in store in the coming months.

Jack sure as hell hoped the world would hold it together until MacGyver healed. He knew that it might as well have ended if Mac hadn't made it out of that explosion alive. Jack's world would have, at any rate.

But, Jack reminded himself as he watched the steady rise and fall of Mac's chest, despite all of the pain and physical therapy and surgeries in his future, Mac was by far the strongest person he knew. He had no doubt that the cautionary "should" the doctor placed on Mac's recovery was more of a "will definitely," because Mac didn't let anything slow him down for long.

So Jack had to be strong, too.

"I'll do it for you, Mac," he said aloud. He carded his fingers gently through mussed blonde hair.

It was a promise he intended to keep.

SHADOW AND BONE REVIEW || episode 4

It's funny cause at episode 3, I was like "I complain too much when I am actually enjoying this" but boi oh boi, i'm about to do some serious complaining now .....

because i know we don't always want to read negative stuff about our favourite tv show, i'm gonna list the things i did like first:

Inej and Jesper's relationship is seriously on point, since ep 1, but that little talent show they did was amazing. Inej trust him with his life, literally, and just going along with his ideas (like why did that card needed to be in her mouth? for THEATRICS INEJ FOR THEATRICS), then smiling when Jesper is happy!!! My baby is proud as she should be

I wasn't sure about Ben Barnes when he got announced but honestly, he is selling the Darkling more than I ever thought he could. The cringe everytime he's grooming Alina is there but because it should be there (opposed to like if he was played by a teenager, we would tend to forget how old he actually is).

the cinematography is beautiful af, the shot of Mal hunting down the deer are breathtaking, all of the decor is still killing me!

and now, the things i did not like at all:

THE FLASHBACKS. I was the first one calling the fb of malina in the orphanage cute, but why show them EVERY TEN MINUTES and they are not even adding new information and sometimes are downright the EXACT SAME FB

which leads to me to the point that they are treating us like children, showing us stuff that happened five seconds ago just in case we forgot, or that we don't see the ENORMOUS obvious point they are making WE GET IT ALINA IS SAD THAT MAL IS NOT RESPONDING but if she looks at that scar ONE MORE TIME i will scream.

Malina ..... Jeez, it feels like everything I liked in the first episode got turned on me and stabbed me in the back with bad writting. Malina works way better in there than in the books, but they got to stop shoving it down our throats when they are not even physically together. Alina has a fuckin personnality on her own, I know that because you showed it to me in the first episode. Why is it gone now? Why is she only allowed to have relationship if it is romantic? I need the focus on her friendship with Genya, otherwise what is to come won't affect me at all (we all know what i'm talking about). One statement that she likes her in passing is not gonna cut it. Where is her relationship with Baghra???

Actually, ya know what, Baghra gets her own paragraph of complaining. this whole episode whould have been focused around Alina's training and the discovery of Baghra. You have an amazing actress for her, and you don't even use her? You have an incredible ability to do the best sets, you already proved it to me, but you fail to render the oppressive atmosphere of her lair AS IF IT WASN'T THE PERFECT METAPHOR FOR ALINA STATE OF MIND. Leigh Bardugo provided that for you on a silver platter. Actually, the whole narration around the training makes no sense, we barely see it, we are told it's going ok, then it's going terribly, the montage of her being slapped around is just awkward and then we have the breakthough that .... comes from nowhere?? The dialogue was so lazy too, like when Alina gets mad and stands up? Anyone else felt how weird that was?

Bad dialogue throughout entire episode actually they talk too much, exposition is not even hidden and tends to put me away from scenes (when Nina says "don't worry i can't anything with my hands like that" for instance, it's ruining the threats she was making just because the felt the need to explain to their dumb audience something they already knew). Sometimes i can't tell if it's the dialogue or the editing cause that was pretty lazy too. And it kind of breaks my heart cause you can tell the director did a good job - like that shot of Aleksander and Alina being separated by the door, him reaching and her going away? Beautiful. But the editing ruined it cause they were no continuation with what came before.

The heist was a bad idea, too rushed, no build-up, no clear explaining of the stakes and eventually useless - take it away and it changes nothing to the story, we learn nothing more about our characters, the only thing it did is me losing a bit of respect for kaz in that outfit.

Mal is a soldier in a war, you will not convince me that it was the first time he killed someone, especially a Fjerdan.

I don't like Nina? (you guys don't understand how much it hurts me to say things like that cause all the characters in SOC are my children) Her acting seems forced, her delivery of the lines are over-the-top and it gives her a contemptuous vibe. Also, I feel like it's weird how they already make Matthias so comfortable around her, standing that close, being that interested. But yeaaaaah i'm gonna see where this is going cause it's too early to have an opinion on.

So yep

#shadow and bone #shadow and bone spoilers #s&b spoilers #s&b #at this point i'm writing this to get it out of my system #it could be so good why are they doing that #i want the equivalent of the snyder cut on that show

Faves and fails of SPN (season 15, finally):

Favorite episodes (in chronological order):

15:4 Atomic Monsters - Demon!Sam flashbacks! Dean in a beard! Some old fashioned banter! Meatman! Beaverdale! Love how Sam starts arguing w the parents in the parking lot - Me too, Sam, me too. Loving the self-aware monster. I know Becky is problematique™, but I dig her, so, all kinds of fuck Chuck. He must die, and when he does this is the episode I’ll think about.

15:6 Golden Time - Badass protection spells. Dean in a robe and a hot dog pyjamas. Cas going by Clarence. Jogging Sam. Eileen! God I ship her and Sam, and I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that I don’t ship him w anyone. Liking this ep a lot, every little side plot. Nice. And Eileen is back and I know it won’t last but like, that was awesome.

15:10 The Heroes’ Journey - Pretty neat intro. Monster on monster violence to the sound of Clair the Lune. Oh, and excellent casting of Garth’s kids. Regular people trouble... Awesome! Brilliant! This is the kind of meta storylines this show should deal in, exclusively. Oh my Garth! Explosives! Why isn’t every episode like this?

15:11 The Gamblers - Oh, is this another lucky coin episode? In that case yes please! More inconsequential bullshit kindly! Loving Sam staying in touch w Eileen. Hey guys, remember when you did the gambling thing w your years? And the rabbit’s foot? Good times. Will this be an equally good time? I hope so. A god! Excellent. ”Lady, I’m Tolstoy.” Yeah ya are, and i’m dead. The guys and Fortuna bashing god. And I'm equally delighted and distraught over the lore that god created man, man imagined gods and god decided to create the other gods to play into man’s ideas, or as a distraction.

15:13 Destiny’s Child - Omg the intro! Savage garden! I’m dead. Jack w the sandwich, why is that so funny? Cas is a gem this episode! ”’Sexually intimate’?” Lol. That’s what you get for trying to speak plainly, Cas! Hunter Corp. I’m dead, again. Keep the different Deans and Sams coming! I’m digging this! Why would they send ‘em to Rio? They could be your buffy-bots!

15:14 Last Holiday - Weird people popping up in the hq is awesome. And Dean’s immediate instinct to yell for Sam reminds me of me calling mr mess for everything! ”Shouldnt you be in the woods? Nymfing?” Monster radar? Oh, oh this is excellent. So mrs Butters is capable of murder when home and family are threatened, good for her. They better not kill her. I can accept them returning her to the wild. Yes! Did I call it or did I call it? Good Supernatural, good boy! And Dean making a cake for Jack! My heart.

Fail episodes (in chronological order):

15:2 Raising Hell - Rowena! Instant win. Ketch. Instant lose. Ketch undressing Rowena with his eyes = rating plummeting. Jeez. A bit dangerous even joking about the GoT finale, don’t you think? Rowena and Ketch full on flirting... this is hell, I'm being punished.

15:3 The Rupture - Don’t call him god! His name is Sucky-Chucky. The shock of Cas! “You’ve been playing us the whole time!” This is how it works Cas, where have you been? They're always solving problems like Jason Mendoza. In-Dean-angry-voice: “Anytime I had a problem and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.” Rowena! And Sam! No!

15:5 Proverbs 17:3 - Listen, spn, it’s your last season and if you like just wanna stop writing and casting women completely rn i won't stop you or hold it against you (also why are these ladies identical?). We’ve had a terrible run but lets just let bygones be bygones.

15:8 Our father, who aren’t in heaven - Gosh, having Eileen in the show is painful, I’m just constantly expecting a piano to fall on her head. *Ugh* Sucky-yucky-Chucky. But hey, at least everybody else looks better alongside him. Case and point: I never rly cared that much for Donatello, but it’s great to see him, and Michael’s back, sure is nice to see him too.

15:9 The trap - Ugh. Main plot shit and Sucky-yucky-fucking-Chucky. Fail. Although the flashforward to jan 6th 2021 was a hoot (but probably not meant like one, huh?) Dean’s monologue in purgatory though... gosh. This show would be nothing w/o Jensen Ackles. Omg the kiss! Nice. However, the show at this point has lost the ability to offer any sort of pleasure. Because like Sam, we know which way this will go. They used to have some hedonism working for the characters but now they don’t even have that.

15:20 Carry on - You know what? I’m not gonna make this post longer than it already is talking about the last episode of Supernatural, that has been done better by people w real grievances w the show. The kindest thing you can say about the finale is that it just as well could’ve been jammed into a few extra minutes added to the previous episode.

Mediocre mentions:

Drag me away (from you) - what is this ugly cell interface? The opposite of product placement. Yay! Retro episode! And they got the same actor to play Dean, neato! Dean admitting he had a hard time handling hunting, that always gets me. Woah! That scream effect without reverb was kinda startling. And the camera zooming in on the little porcelain clown even though Sam is nowhere n- oh shit. This was an interesting episode

Inherit the earth - Goooood I hate Chucky. Barefoot Sam is okay though. Digging this soundtrack too. Very un-Supernatural. Nice to meet ya Betty, but I wouldn’t pull up a chair if I were you. Always a fan of the shiteating grin. Jack, stripping god of his power, that’s so hot. And again: kudos to the soundtrack! The Youngbloods and then Jackson freakin’ Browne! And you know, it’s clichéd and kinda vacant, but also kinda nice. I’m cool with the story ending like this. Why did they have to do another one? Supernatural has never known when to quit, and this is the very real backside of this.

Honorable mentions:

I don’t know who this Ardat chick is but killing Ketch puts her instantly in my win column.

Winchester-dumb, new household term.

”Feels like were taking a big, probably stupid risk. Feels good.” That made me feel good too.

I’m vastly enjoying this dark-art hippie couple in Unity and Jack’s interaction w them.

Cas launching straight into his dramatic I-will-not-let-you-end-your-own-life-speech when Sam casually mentions he’d like to talk to death in Unity, that angel has seen some things, and he has learned.

Those are some pretty pretty death effects on Jack in Despair/The Truth.

Obviously Misha Collins

Things that makes you go hmm:

Which of the clowns is this supposed to be in Back and to the Future? Because the one from season 2 was a monster, right? So he would’ve gone to purgatory. You know what? I’m not an expert. I try to not pay too much attention ’cause it makes me funny in the head. But just, y’know, a general objection.

Here’s my deal w death as a looming threat in this show: it holds no weight. And even if it did it has been painted as the ultimate relief, unless you go to hell, these characters know for a fact that there’s a potentially blissful afterlife, so their attitude towards death should be, what? More pragmatic, I think. And it’s partly why Ackles is wasted on this show; That man can deliver a death monologue like it’s nobody’s business, too bad all those words have been rendered meaningless after 15 seasons of this shit!

Summing up:

So, I did not go into or leave this season happy, I knew how it would end and I was sad for everyone the show screwed over (more than it already had). Which really meant that I always had to force myself to watch another episode, knowing what was coming. But I had to see it through. I did, so I’ll give myself a pat on the back and get to work on my own personal selection of episodes that will henceforth represent spn to me. A selection I’ll enjoy all the way through. All in all I think the most frustrating thing about the show is how it insists on taking itself so freakin’ seriously. It has always done horror *and* humor best and this whole heaven and hell aspect has never sat right w me, and in any case they should’ve leaned more on “supernatural” narrative tropes (if you will) getting out of their plot problems, gambled some more and thought a bit more outside genre conventions *especially* in their main arcs, they opened up so many opportunities that they never even used. They could’ve been more like Buffy, or Doctor Who. That said, I’ll always get that spn-itch, and when I do, I’ll be happy to have seen all the episodes so I’ll know which ones to avoid.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. XLI

It was a love story from the very beginning.

I Want You Here

(9x02/9x03 2nd part/9x04/9x05)

Hello my friends! This is the second Destiel meta from season 9.

We are gonna talk about how Dean was worried about Castiel and he wanted him in the bunker ... Obviously we will talk about how their reunion was cocklblocked by Zeke (Gadreel).

I want to say thank you to my friend @agusvedder she made the gifs for this meta! Love ya girl!

Let's start...

Human!Cas and sex

In episode 9x03, Castiel ended at the street, frozen, under the rain and hungry.

That's when April appears, showing him kindness, she offered him a jelly and peanut butter sandwich. I know it has to be the most delicious food in the world for this hungry poor ex angel, and also the representation of human's kindness.

But Castiel was deceived by this woman/reaper.

She showed him good actions, she took are of his wounds... She even listened him...

He felt comfortable with her, because she made him believe in her. Castiel opened his heart and confessed why he had ended like this... He talked about vanity, now, after his fall, he understood a lot of things...

Sorry... I just... Was drooling a little over Misha's perfection....

I'm back now.

APRIL: Well, all patched up, but, God, your delts are in knots. You got to relax.

Yeah, bitch, any excuse is a good excuse to touch our beautiful angel, right? 😒

CASTIEL: Ah, it's all new to me. Hunger. Cold. This feeling, being all alone.

APRIL: You're not alone tonight.

Aaaand you know what happens next.

But let's just stop in Castiel's words... He was feeling alone, a very cold sensation he wasn't use to. He was always that self secure angel, not needing anyone to do anything. And now, feeling the most sad side of humanity, our miseries, he feels a lot of things... But one of them was LONELINESS. (I just can't forget season 14 when he recalls this and said to Jack HE WASN'T ALONE, HE HAD SAM, DEAN AND HIMSELF, I just love his improvement.)

He had sex with April, when she lied to him. And not just that, but she began to torture him and she even killed him. It was a horrendous violent act and Castiel was exposed to that.

Next scene was Dean and Sam arriving... But it was too late...

The despair in Dean's face is eloquent. He is desperate, his voice cracked, and he's touching Castiel's shoulder and face. His Express changes when he realizes Cas is dead.

But we know what happened next, Zeke/Gadreel saves Cas to win more confidence from Dean.

Now... Let's continue with the sex over here...

The burritos scene is a classic between Destiel shippers because it's sexual innuendo and Dean's blatant facial expressions. And we had jealous!Dean too.

This had been analyzed by a lot of meta writers, so I won't add any new, because it was obvious that when Castiel came out from the shower ...

A very horny Dean imagining his hot "buddy" enjoying the water falling over his well formed naked body, and there you have that face there. Just for our inquisitive and attentive eyes... Why the camera would focus Dean and not Sam after the shower line? Because Dean is affected by that... And that's why we got that quote from the hunter, suggestively bitting the burrito (may a say a dick mirror? 🤣🤣) "It ain't all just burritos and burritos, my friend," like... There's dicks too, may I show you?

Dean feels more free to make this kind of approaches to Castiel, because he knows the boundary that was there separating them for being more, is gone now. Cas wasn't an angel anymore. And maybe Dean could teach him some about sex life.

Then, the scene switched to jealous!Dean when Castiel mentioned April.

Look at this, a very classic, we love this, that's why I will talk about it, even if you readed a lot of references... We are Destiel trash and we love it...

Watch... Cas says he had sex, Sam and Dean are surprised, but both of them reacts differently. Sam grimaced an UH! And immediately drifts his eyes to his brother, why? Because he wants to caught his brother's reaction, why?, Because he suspects his brother feels something more than just friendship for Castiel.

And Dean chocking with that burrito, hilarious, his serious and jealous face is fantastic, like if he was scolding Castiel for that, he even points at him "You had sex with April?" Is like YOU CHEATED ON ME?

Just for a few seconds, because, is good, is good for Castiel. He isn't a Virgen anymore... So he had tasted having sex like any human? That's a good thing!

Dean is proud and happy to have Cas there. Happy because maybe he will have an opportunity with Human!Cas who already had had sex with another human. Like... Possibilities are huge!

Obviously we had Zeke/Gadreel cockblocking the possibilities.

Not comfortable with the L word and ...

Let's jump a little to episode 9x02, at the beginning, Dean and Sam were talking about Cas, they were waiting still for him to arrive, Dean tried to show himself cool, saying Cas was a big guy.

But when the episode keeps going, we ha d a very important encounter between Dean and Abaddon. The dialogue was a foreshadow of Demon!Dean plot.

Abaddon wanted Dean's body to use it like meat suit.

She even asked...

ABADDON: It can get worse. Trust me. 'Cause once I'm on top, I'll make you watch. And I'll use your body. Have you ever felt an infant's blood drip down your chin? Or listened to a girl scream as you rip her guts out? Because you will. It's you and me, lover. We'll have a grand old time.

The infant blood just recalled to when Dean, with Cain's mark, killed the boy from the Steins family in the bunker.

But after this, we had Zeke/Gadreel saving the day, and this dialogue between them...

Dean is uncomfortable with the use of LOVE word. Maybe bc he isn't used to talk about it, or feel it. Or because his toxic masculinity, doesn't leave him to talk about it. So is a uncomfortable word, and it shows in his face.

In 9x04, after Dean kicked out Cas from the bunker, I will talk about this later (no, I didn't forget 🤣), Sam was confused about that fact, and the brother had a tiny conversation over it... And Dean said this important lines...

HE WANTS CASTIEL IN THE BUNKER WITH HIM, MORE THAN ANYONE, MORE THAN SAM OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE SAM AND CAS ARE JUST FRIENDS, BUT FOR DEAN, CASTIEL IS MORE THAN FAMILY, HE IS IN LOVE WITH CAS AND HE IS DISAPPOINTED AND SAS BECAUSE HE CAN'T HAVE HIM THERE, WITH HIM. And because he had wished to be more than friends, maybe physically, now than they didn't have any attachments or restrictions to do that.

Later, on the same episode, we will see Charlie and Dean in his room, and Charlie noticing this...

Okay, this is very exppsitional for Bi!Dean over here... Because Charlie (as always) is pointing that he has that collection of boobs but... He... Like... This isn't the real you.

And Dean says... Don't judge me.

Perfect my friends... I loved it.

And because Dean is still in the closet, as we saw with Charlie and the whole toxic masculinity, in 9x05 Dog Dean Afternoon, we had this piece of dialogue from the one talking dog, the Yorkie.

YORKIE: Ohh, a – a cowboy hat, leather pants. The dude's a total closet case.

Okay this reference is applicable to Dean too! Even in that freaking episode... We had a couple of things...

The Sad Destiel Scene

Okay, before ending this meta, I want to talk briefly about Dean kicking out Castiel from the bunker, because to me, it was a manipulation from Zeke, but it was a tool to keep Cas and Dean separated and create a little fight an resentment between them... Because the drama and everything... 😒

But we'll the scene is very sad, because CAS even made it word saying this...

My sweet little ex-angel there... He even pull back a chair for Dean... He likes to talk with Dean... He's such a cute and sweet and educated little ... Awwwww but he didn't know his heart was about to be ripped apart.

Look at his face!!!!!!!!!! Was Dean breaking his heart or what? Damn...

Okay... Circular narrative in which in season 8 Dean was in one sided love and Cas broke his heart, now in season 9 is in reverse. Castiel aknowledged by now his feelings, so I suspect he recognized his attraction to Dean was love. But... Now... Dean is kicking him off from the bunker... Without a good reason... Lying to him.

Can I die here... I won't bother you...

More Demon!Dean foreshadow (Miscellaneous)

I just wanted to out here two things I noticed...

In episode 9x04 we had a two man of letters from the past. They were partners and they were Sam and Dean mirror. One of them under the witch's powerful spell, tried to kill to Sam's mirror, and this was a foreshadow for Demon!Dean plot again, that time when he was trying to kill Sam in the bunker too.

Another little detail was what the monster said in episode 9x05 when he was fighting with Dean.

CHEF LEO: Well, I didn't mean to kill anyone – at first. But if people got in my way, they became collateral damage. Guess you eat enough predators, you start to become one. You are what you eat, right? [laughs]

This is a reference to Dean future transformation into a monster (with Cain's mark on him) and later into a Demon. The hunter that becomes what he hunts.

To Conclude:

Castiel's innocence and despair leads him to April, the reaper that deceives him by taking advantage of his human situation.

Dean wanted Cas to be with him in the bunker because he knew Human Cas and him could have maybe an opportunity to develop something more than just friendship.

Toxic Masculinity in Dean is manifested through a lot of piece of dialogues, showing us how hard will be for him to defeat that... Persisting till now... I hope not for too long. I guess episode 15x07 was very important to show us that toxicity is ending, and the whole Healing!Dean plot in season 14.

There were too some foreshadows for Demon!Dean and Cain's mark.

I hope you enjoy this one, see you in the next Chronicles!

I wish my body would stop going into fight or flight mode every time it hears Shibuya. Somethings we cant change Ig 😭

I picture baby Megumi as the grumpiest baby, always with a frown, but in a cute way. Definitely glaring at gojo through the mirror as he uses a shitton of hair gel to make his hair all spiky

I love reze so much I hope she isn't [spoiler] ya know?? that scene with denji waiting at the cafe SO CLOSS YET SO FAR I- I need to continue reading it, I just don't- I know it will break my heart

OH I also just remembered!!! I watched the first 4 episodes of Tokyo revengers and Im only watching for the op bc I hate the animation and the sound effects 😁 the voice acting is good so far tho! but the animation I just- it scares takes me out of what im watching bc it looks off

I LOVE YOUR COSTUME IDEA!!! I love Freddie in the I want to break free video, he's so cool. fun fact! queen was my top Spotify artists for 2, or it might've been 3 I don't remember very well, years! I still like their music but I don't listen to them as often :/ I dunno why, I think I just switched genres 🤷‍♀️ I think, even people thought you were a weeb, they'd think youre the coolest, most mysterious cold blooded sexy weeb to ever exist 😌 also, kobeni is so sweet, she's very funny <3

LMFAO I have no idea what an enneagram type is BUT I agree. I just googled giyuu and he looks very Megumi. you think the three of them would get along?? I have mixed thoughts right now. I feel like there would be a weird tension between Aki and Megumi; like a I don't know if I like you but I kinda do.

I- the holy trinity is gonna make me scream LMFAO I don't know much about va's but Takahiro Sakurai's voice is 👀 I love voice acting. I don't do it well but I would love to learn ngl. ive seen a bunch of tiktoks of a group of vas saying lines from animes and they all sound so cool :D

ilym! <3

A lot of people mention how there's no, or most of the time, villains that do evil things just for the sake of being evil, but bc they believe they are right in away and I honestly would love to see the current jjk mc's as evil from the other side's perspective; thats a very interesting idea! thanks for sharing that pov! I would also like to objectively analyse toji, and a bunch of other characters, but I am a biased whore so I won't even try <3

AND A TOJI SPINOFF?? I wish gege had Tumblr so he could see this >:( actually, do you think gege has a Tumblr?? imagine him just lurking and reading- shivers ANYWAY I would sell my kidneys for it. I wanna see a detailed retelling of his life growing up as part of the zen'in clan up until he left. Maybe how he met Megumi's mom as well ugh- I need that

HIDDEN INVENTORY IS ENDING ME EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT IT. Gege make gojo keep suffering 2k22. I feel like I make fun of gojo a lot bc of toji trauma but it also makes me sad everything he had to go through TT if gojo was on Tumblr he'd probably filter the tag 'cw toji' im sorry im gonna shut up

OH BC I TOTALLY GET THE CLASS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR CAREER ITS INFURIATING I think that was one of the things that made me depressed as well, I just felt useless and like I was doing nothing for my life bc I was kinda forced to study a career I didn't enjoy by my parents lol

Guess ill start sending Tuesdays ask so my ethereal presence makes things better 😌 im joking. but not a more serious note I hope your Tuesdays get better; I know they will eventually even if they feel like a pain in the ass right now, im rooting for you :D

thanks for asking! so the search is going like shit. Looking back at what I wrote this is also a bit of a vent :,)

im so confused bc okay, so after I dropped out of college I started applying to college for theatre bc it was what I wanted to do at the time. After sending and doing a couple of auditions 3 out of the 4 colleges I applied to reached out to tell me that even though they thoroughly enjoyed my performance, I would not be eligible for a second round. I think that their rejection--which some people have told me to not look at it that way bc "they didn't reject you, you just didn't get in" WHAT DO YOU CALL IT THEN (this is also probably bc Spanish has more words to explain rejection than English ig??)--just depressed me a bit? like I kinda stopped caring about stuff and started to avoid anything to do with my future, talking about college and career paths and such. the rejection from the first college really led me to not care much about the second audition so I can see how I did myself dirty there. I had high hopes and when I didn't meet them I kinda crashed.

I don't know if I wanna continue with theatre, I don't think I do for a lot of nuanced reasons that im still scared of sharing. Im not really passionate about acting either, but sometimes its hard if im not passionate about it bc I didn't get in or bc im truly not passionate about it. don't get me wrong, I like acting and putting on plays bc I think its fun but I wouldn't kill for it, you know??

other than that, I don't have a lot of careers in mind. I know I like artsy things ig? like baking and drawing and writing, so my safest choice is to follow a path in there. I also looked at a very cool business program that included the acquisition of Japanese language and I really liked that! I think Japanese is a beautiful language and ive always wanted to learn. Plan z is going back to the college I dropped out of and continue where I left it ig (degree in communication); my mom is very keen on this one. I feel like I sound like a spoiled brat and im sorry if I came off this way, it was not my intention to do so.

I feel nice after writing all that lmfao, I hope it wasn't too much of a bother oof

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE TUMBLR, it a messy platform but its been my home for forever <3 the costumization aspect- I could spend hours upon hours here just changing fonts and adding symbols and just tweaking details here and there.

I would love to share my fic! let me send the link through another ask :D

Writing long responses is a pain on mobile TT specially bc Tumblr would sometimes glitch bc the mobile app is hell. I remember reading a fanfic a while ago and in the middle of it the app just shut down and I lost it and I never found it again LMFAO its happened way too many times for me to feel any sort of pain, im numb towards any of the attacks from the Tumblr mobile app lol.

ANYWAY! I always look forward to your responses! You're very fun to interact with :D and don't worry! you don't have to apologise <3

This was a really long ask im sorry LMFAO TT but I hope you have a good weekend! im writing this on Thursday so its close to the weekend LOL

-🥳 anon

okay 🥳 i will smack you if you apologize again hereby i announce you're banned from apologizing

megumi is just scary without even trying lol imagine gojo's reaction to megumi being a bully bully in middle school 😭 OR imagine gojo telling megumi to smack those asses KLAEWFLKMAFL MY HEART

reze is best girl. we were robbed

right?? the animation is BAD. apparently, it's the same studio that did 2016 berserk sooo yeaah. the story didn't do much for me either, but i can at least say that it gets better after i think 14th episode? it gets hectic

aah i used to love queen too! i kinda changed genres, but i used to listen to innuendo religiously lol they were such a cool band

thank you! i think being a weeb is cooler than it used to be, and like i'm not ashamed of it or anything LMAOO cause one episode of evangelion will smack them in the head. but also like- EVERYONE watches attack on titan

i translate the last season of aot weekly and my dad asked for the link to it, so they could check it out. i sent him the link, and while talking to his friend he mentions it and his friend- who is like 50 and a military officer- says "oh yeah that show is awesome!" 😭 i'll rewatch it with them this summer!! they don't know that yet tho. i might need to tell them to just squeeze themselves a little bit and wait for the third season. i told my dad that they compare aot to game of thrones, and they really like got sooooo

enneagram is that XwX ones! all of them are istj's and 1w9's if i remember correctly, personality database is down rn. i feel like they would like each other, but not really fond of. all of them seem to like upbright, cheery people (itadori, tanjiro, denji and power) so they would be good coworkers, not friends lol

the va lore is so big that i can't even follow it lol. they are cool tho, i sometimes see tiktoks of them too! i love their commentary too! va's are usually very into their characters- gojo's va being an exception

he definitely lurks in the shadows of tumblr. i mean, the man got in disguise and watched jjk 0 to see people's reaction lol. i wonder if he knows how loved satosugu as a ship is </3

i believe to the civilians, sorcerers are devils. especially now. we might actually see that pov post culling game. it would be fun to have an aot-esque turn of events

KJNASDKWNA NOT THE TAG--

no cause talking to you DOES make me feel better <3 i'm going on an EVEN more hectic week and god hold me back cause by the end of sunday, i will be ready to smack a bitch. i can't believe how things can be even worse every week. i also can't believe how school became this hard ONLY on my second semester ever like last semester was hard but NOT LIKE THIS

yeah i get that. i mean, if you're not super into theater or see yourself in that path, no need to tire yourself. it's so hard to find a career at this early age tbh. hopefully, you can find something you would enjoy int he long term. tho, plan z sounds great too! comm is, from what ive heard, a fun field.

and no, you don't sound spoiled and fuck anyone that would think so. it's your future, you should be picky. it's your right to do so.

ALSO i read your fic and IT WAS SO GOOD???!?!?!? PLEASE WRITE MORE???? like the way you described the environment, gojo and reader was just chef's kiss. i wasn't sure if i should post that other ask, so i wanted to write here <3 you're such an amazing writer, please feed us more

have a great week! kissies :*

Black Clover's Asta Is A Great Anime Boy And I Won't Hear Otherwise

In 2017, two cries could be heard across the anime universe. The first was that of Asta, the constantly loud protagonist of Black Clover, shouting his ambitions to anyone that would listen and even those that wouldn't. The second were the cries of some anime fans, wondering why this dude had to shout everything. It quickly achieved meme status, which is the #1 sign of popularity in the 2010's, and even though a decent number of shows, from Dragon Ball Z to One Piece, feature lead characters that scream their dreams, Asta was just too loud. For a second, we all became stuck-up anime parents: "YOU TURN THAT ASTA DOWN THIS INSTANT, CRUNCHYROLL. I'M TRYING TO NAP OR WATCH DARLING IN THE FRANXX OR BOTH, POSSIBLY."

Luckily, this meme has died down, but there's a stigma around Asta that hasn't fully left. Maybe it's because, around the same time, we got sweet young Deku from My Hero Academia, a boy that only yelled when he was about to be murdered by a villain or break his own arms in an attempt to punch said villain. Or maybe it's because, after so many loud heroes, we figured that we were too self aware to enjoy one that wore his voice on his sleeve. (Side note: This is not a diss on My Hero Academia. I love MHA, and I believe that Deku and Asta would be great friends. Heck, best friends.)

Regardless of why, it wasn't because Black Clover wasn't popular in the first place. People have a tendency to remember the things that they don't like as failures (It's why we count Spider-Man 3 as some grand cinematic disappointment when it was the top grossing movie of 2007 and the highest grossing Spider-Man film to this day), and the most dramatic minority tended to imagine Black Clover, not as a hit, but as a wart on the side of Weekly Shonen Jump. But it's the fourth highest grossing anime for TV Tokyo. Peopld are definitely (and consistently) watching Black Clover.

But if you think that Asta isn't qualified to stand beside Deku or Goku or Luffy or Edward Bleach (that's the protagonist of Bleach, right?), I have some news for you: You're wrong. Asta is a great anime boy and he exemplifies a lot of what I want out of a hero from this genre. And I think it's awesome that he yells. Heck, he has to. A lot of people in the show don't believe in him, or didn't believe in him when they first met him and you know what? Sometimes ya gotta yell if you wanna be heard, especially in the world of magic. His bro Yuno has obvious powers from the start of the show. How are you gonna compete with that if you're not down to raise your voice a little bit. "Speak loudly and carry a big Demon-Slayer Sword" is what Theodore Roosevelt always said.

Also, Asta's enthusiastic. I enjoy a strong, silent type every once in a while and I dig that Asta is contrasted to Yuno. But if they were both brooding, reticent types, I'd have quit watching by episode two. Plus, I don't need Asta to be typically aloof and cool. I think it's fun that he tries so hard, and that he's not an instant prodigy. Sure, he'd be better for wish fulfillment if he said all the right things and didn't really have to work to be talented, but that's just not what my dude Asta is about.

This need to work has built a sense of determination into Asta, which makes his fights and struggles more interesting. I love watching characters power up in big fights. It's a trope that I will never get sick of because I will never stop cheering whenever someone releases their GUMGUMBEASTBOMBEHAMEHA. And Black Clover does a great job of making these power ups feel earned, and if they seem to come out of nowhere, at least they don't feel like unnatural progression. I'm not saying that other shows don't do a good job with this. I'm just saying that I get hyped when it happens with Asta, which is the mark of a character that I actually care about. He has given me a reason to be invested in his battles.

Plus, I'm always down for any character that has a seemingly impossible dream. Asta wants to be the Magic King, and while it'd be super easy to say: "Well, he'll probably accomplish it in the end because typical Shonen formula dictates that he will, and btw I'm joyless," I'm not gonna be that jaded against Asta or anime in general. Like his "power ups" in battle, it's not like he's completely undeserving of it. He was chosen by the Black Bull, the squad that a lot of people considered trash. So he's had to struggle, not only to gain the respect of the Bulls, but to gain respect for the Bulls. Again, he didn't show up in Kikka to hear: "AH, YES. THIS IS THE BOY THAT WILL ONE DAY PROTECT US ALL." No, they thought he was a loud weirdo. And man, Asta. I've been there.

Finally, Asta gives me a beautiful vision for the future of fighting games based around Weekly Shonen Jump properties. Jump Force was definitely a mixed bag, but one of the best parts was learning that Asta was my favorite character to play as. I've been entrenched in One Piece for years. It's fueled my existence. And so I imagined that when I started Jump Force, I'd create my Grand Line-oriented team and wreak havoc on the plot. But Asta won me over and now I hope that he shows up in more games. Fingers crossed for a Dragon Ball FighterZ-esque game featuring Black Clover characters. Fingers reeeeeal crossed.

In short, if you still think Asta is a stain on the side of his genre, I think you're missing out. Black Clover is not only a really fun, really watchable show, but it's also got a great anime boy at the front of it. He may be loud, but he is mine. You go, Asta.

Are you an Asta fan? Think he's a little underrated? Let us know in the comments and keep watching Black Clover on Crunchyroll!

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. XXXV

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Headache

(8x14/8x15/8x16)

Hello my friends! This is a new meta from my Destiel Chronicles! This one is very important, we won't have Cas but we will have a lot of foreshadow for the crypt scene and one interesting Destiel mirror.

I want to say thank you to @agusvedder , she made the gifs for this meta and discussed with me the episodes. Love ya girl!

Okay, stop the cháchara. Let's start this...

Blue for headache

Episode 8x14 Trial and Error we had a very happy Dean having a place where he felt he belonged. He had his room, and he decorated it, he showed it to his brother, proudly.

But it also talks about one of his characteristics, the BIG PROTECTOR heritage from his father, and it shows when they traveled to find Kevin in bad shape, barely sleeping and eating.

So, the Big Protector button is pressed again... Dean went to buy some food, and medicaments.

And, just pay attention to this scene...

Blue for headache... Blue is Cas, right? And Cas is with some brainwashed issue right now... Some headache... So is interesting how Dabb related the Destiel color coded to the pills... And then the green one, (Dean color) for pep, energy. That's Dean the one that will break that headache.

Another important point to remark is this piece of dialogue... Remember they were trying to figure out who in this family (named CASSITY... really Dabb?) Had made a deal with Crowley. Because they needed one hellhound for the tests. One man died first, and he was married with a lady... And this is what the lady says when Sam asked her how was she feeling... And she said this...

SAM You okay, Mrs. Cassity?

ALICE Fine.

SAM You sure?

ALICE I really am. And... I know I shouldn't be because I loved Carl... I think. I just can't remember why.

Okay, she lost her memory, like Cas in the crypt, hitting Dean so hard... He forgot for a moment he loved Dean. This is a foreshadow for the crypt scene.

I don't want anybody else

Ellen was singing this alone in her room, the song loud, and she was drinking because the Hellhound will come for her... So... Is a very famous song... I just want you to pay attention because this song is connected with something I will point later...

I love myself, I want you to love me

When I feel down, I want you above me

I search myself, I want you to find me

I forget myself, I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else

When I think about you, I touch myself

Ooh, I don't want anybody else

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me come runnin'

You're the sun who makes me shine

When you're around, I'm always laughin'

I want to make you mine

I close my eyes and see you before me

Think I would die if you were to ignore me

A fool could see just how much I adore you

I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you

Okay, ready? The woman is singing she doesn't want anybody else... Okay? And Ellen is screaming the song and the song is TOO LOUD.

Why?

Because Dean will enter the scene, and Ellen will flirt with him, she wants to have sex with Dean, and Dean rejects her. He-rejects-a sexy woman.

He will give excuses... But the song there is marking us the subtext. Because she is not Cas. And Dean found out he is in love with Castiel recently. So DEAN DOESN'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE.

I love subtext... Yum.

Another profound bond

Episode 8x15 Friends with Benefits talked about James, a cop that became a witch, he had this Dog/Woman Portia, a famili and he shared a profound bond with her.

The thing is, James was changing, he was having headaches and loosing memories... (Again the headache and memory, Castiel mirror).

The mirror was so blatant, that I decided to put here some points in common.

James was acting odd, and his weird behavior was pushing away Portia. And Portia was worried about him, just like Dean is for Castiel's strange behavior.

But let's talk about the interesting things Portia said about her bond with James...

This is amazing, because since Dean met Castiel, they had their fights and one break up, but they always found the way to be together again.

"I was getting too close to the humans in my charge. YOU."

The unusual relationship between an angel and a human, something forbidden, to fall in love. Is quoted in Portia's words.

The UNBREAKABLE BOND, is a blatant recall to THE PROFOUND BOND Dean and Cas share. The melding souls, romantic and intimate.

The foreshadow for the crypt scene

Okay, now I'm gonna need you to pay attention to these gifs above, it talks about James and Portia dynamic and it was a huge foreshadow for the incoming crypt scene.

First of all, remember Portia (Dean mirror) was loyal to James (Cas mirror), and she wanted to stay with him till the end, but James pushed her away with his words and physically...

Now, the first one is talking about how CAS will run away from Dean with the angel tablet because he needed to protect it from everyone, and to protect Dean from it too.

The second is a slight mirror of Castiel hitting Dean in the crypt... Look at Portia face, full of pain.

Now... Let's jump to the scene in which James realizes he was being manipulated...

Remember Castiel killing a thousands of Dean? This is a mirror of Naomi's manipulation over Cas.

"You make me think I was a killer."

"You make me kill my friend a thousands of times."

Now... And you are gonna scream with this one, as I did...

When the manipulation was cut... James approached Portia and...

James coped Portia's face!!!!! Like Cas will do to heal Dean in the crypt scene!!! And why they did this?

Because James and Portia are in love, and this is a very intimate and sweet gesture OF LOVE, ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS to his lover (!!!!).

And is THE SAME CONTEXT WITH CAS AND DEAN.

Why Cas coped Dean's face if he could heal him even without touching him??? He WANTED TO TOUCH DEAN LIKE THIS. BECAUSE IT WAS A SWEET GESTURE OF LOVE, ASKING FOR DEAN'S FORGIVENESS!!!!

Because they're in love, people. Period.

Thank you James and Portia.

Let's move on...

Where are you, man?

Episode 8x16 Remember the Titans, we saw another man loosing his memories, another head issues problems...

But the most important from this episode is Dean praying to Castiel...

DEAN Cas, you got your ears on? Listen, you know I am not one for praying, 'cause in my book it's... it's the same as begging.

Okay, let's stop right here... Really Dean? So... When you were praying to him EVERY NIGHT in Purgatory, you were BEGGING HIM TO COME BACK??!!!!!! Okay... Not romantic at all... (Somebody shoot me in the head!!!)

DEAN But this is about Sam, so I need you to hear me. We are going into this deal blind... and I don't know what's ahead or what it's gonna bring for Sam. Now, he's covering pretty good, but I know that he is hurting, and this one was supposed to be on me. So, for all that we've been through, I'm asking you... (he's very earnestly praying) ...

This broke my heart right here...

He's worried, and hurt, and he wants his friend, an angel, to take care of Sam... But not just that... You could say... He's just praying to let him know, to ask him for protection. To protect Sam... But not just that... Isn't just because he's worried about his little brother... Because then... He did this...

He wanted to see him. DEAN WANTED TO SEE CAS. HE NEEDED HIM IN THAT MOMENT. He was feeling sad because Sam was making those dangerous tests... But he wanted to see Castiel. He missed him.

It wasn't just a pray, a beg, it was Dean Winchester trying to see Cas again.

Where are you, man? I need you here, with me, I'm desperate. And I want to see you. Where are you?

To Conclude:

These three episodes were a prologue to the crypt scene.

We had people with head issues, and a huge Destiel mirror.

It also showed us Dean does want anybody else than Cas and he wasn't just praying for Sammy's protection, but because he wanted to see Cas again.

I hope you like this meta, see you in the next Chronicles!
